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.
