Where can I find an AS400 to Java interface?

Question

Does anyone have links and resources to connect to an AS400 from Java?

I remember years ago, somebody told me about a connector that simulates KeyStrokes from the keyboard and other "purest" approach that connected directly.

On the web I have found a lot of links, but I cannot find a complete product to do this (I am probably not using the right keywords).

EDIT

Thanks for the answers:

What we are looking for is a way to access the data inside the AS400 and/or the screens it uses and expose them for other new applications re-use. Either as a webservice of some sort, or directly through Java ( and java will expose the operations using webservices )

Thanks in advance.

EDIT

As per MicSim post, I've also found this link:

What you are looking for is probably the Toolbox for Java™ & JTOpen from IBM. There is also an AS400 class in the toolbox for performing specific AS400 tasks. You can look here and here for more details. Just googled it and hope it's helpful.
