JDBC2.0 Connecting through a firewall?

Is there support for the JDBC2.0 driver to access an Informix DBMS without having to create an HTTP Proxy connection because of the DBMS being behind a firewall? Is it possible to just open a port on the firewall to establish communication with the IDS as long as its a TCP protocol? I know that you need to use a HTTP Proxy connection when using the driver in an applet but I am not sure about a stand - alone application. Can anyone help? TIA, Lloyd.
