I have interfaced COBOL with Java and vice-versa using JNI. There is some C coding involved to do so and one has to be very careful about releasing references to Java objects in the glue code, but type conversions can be done in the C code. I don't think you actually need assembler for that. This being said, in our shop, we pass only printable data in Strings... Makes it quite easy to write a single generic interfacing routine that requires virtually no maintenance. I do recommend you let only an experienced senior developer write this JNI stuff...
