It sounds like you want something like the Berkeley DB - a simple, widely
used, embedded database system. There is a Java interface for it. Good
news: it's portable. Bad news: it's only portable at the source level -
there's a  JNI component to it. If you can ship a per-platform JNI component,
it's the answer to your dreams. More: http://www.sleepycat.com/ .
