I you want real-time record-level access, then you could always write a
CICS web service and then call that from Java remotely.   I believe that
Rocket z/SQL provides a general solution via a remote JDBC driver.

If you just want to download a copy of the VSAM data, you can use Co:Z SFTP
server or z/OS, with a remote SFTP client of your preference, including a
Java SFTP API like Apache commons SFTP.
