JDBC middlewar component

Hi, Can anyone out there recommend a product to act as the middleware component for a 3-tiered architecture so I can get my Java applets to connect to an INFORMIX-SE 7.23 database engine? In other words, I want a product which can listen on a socket on my Web server for a JDBC-compliant applet and act as the middleman between that applet and the sqlexecd daemon listening on the database server. I've tried using Symantec's dbANYWHERE product, but that uses some On-Line specific syntax when attempting to fetch metadata from the database, causing the connection to fail. If anyone out there is using dbANYWERE to connect to standard engine and knows a workaround for this problem, that would help me as well.
