Yes, we run a few batch jobs where COBOL code invokes methods on Java objects. In these methods there is database access through JDBC (we're using SQLJ, BTW). Only this is against DB2 and the JDBC driver is running in Type 2 mode and sharing the connection to the database with the COBOL code. But I see no reason why it should not be possible to run a JDBC driver against another type of DBMS.
