I think technical interviews should not be the main criteria when hiring for 
a Java position.  You need to look for developers that have a proven track 
record of success, and people who have demonstrated they can learn, and 
adapt to different technologies.

You need to hire a developer, not someone who can do the specific things you 
are looking for (you will have a hard time finding someone available, that 
knows the exact things you are looking for, will work for the pay you are 
offering, is easy to work with, is comfortable in your work environment...).

You need to look for people who demonstrate a proficiency with technology, 
that will be able to handle whatever you throw at them.

Hire for ability, not for skillset.
