If you're using GNAT, download and install the associated Annex E
implementation, GLADE (all available as RPMs at the Ada for Linux site,
www.gnuada.org).  The GLADE distribution provides several basic
examples, and they _do_ work! :-)

Download GLADE and RTFM.

Feasible, _and_ effective! :-)

I haven't looked at ADEPT in a long time, so I can't speak to that.  I
have had success using the AdaSockets collection on the natively
compiled Ada side, and the Socket class on the Java side (actually
JGNAT).  One does have to worry about host vs network byte order, and
what I've gotten so far is probably horribly non-portable, but for now
anyway it's working.
