Writing drivers are easy in any language except those which are 
interrupted like JAVA.

For "Java" you can bind like in Ada a small imported code that is 
wriiten in Assembly, C or any other compiled language. That would 
give you the way to include functions that he desires.

To use Ada for this type you must compile use the technique of 
no system. Ada specification will export the function. And a 
small java file will import the Ada function.

Its was back in the 1990's the last time I use native code with Java 
so this link might help:

  "Java Tip 23: Write native methods - JavaWorld"
  http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/javatips/jw-javatip23.html

As for the actually routines just google for an example.
