Calling a Java method from OI (OpenInsight 32-Bit)

We're wanting to integrate our OI product with the Cumulus digital asset management product. The process we want to follow is - user creates a new record in OI with a fews of data. This triggers an update to Cumulus where a similar record is created in its database.
Cumulus has numerous Java based libraries allowing us to do everything we need from some custom Java classes. The real question is how to we communicate with the appropriate methods in Java from OI?
One option would be to write a thin .NET wrapper, but we are hoping to avoid this as we do not currently do any .NET development. Is there a way to call these methods directly?
One added headache is that Cumulus runs on a different server.

I believe Cunulus offers a web-services interface. That should let you do what you want.

I didn't realise OI could communicate with a web service. How is this done? Do you have any examples?

That's great. I've tried out the examples and it looks like we'll be able to do what we need.
The only problem now is that Cumulus Web Services is read-only except for Enterprise edition, which costs $50,000!
