Why don't you just push out the form to the user, have them edit it and then post it back through an intranet webserver and drop the values into a database or even a plain text file and hook into that from your application.
It seems to me like you are maybe going about the data flow the wrong way. Just puch out a standard html form and have the user drop the values back to a web server. When the post is submitted you can even create an event to fire your java app for instant notification or processing.
MDS isn't going to store the values that your users are changing, it's strictly contect delivery, not a data processor (in this respect). So there really is nothing to pull. Being that a user is going to post the info immediately after they update the form, it's useless trying to pull from MDS (or the handheld or a combination) because the data won't be there.
Simple data flow...
1. Push form to handheld via BES
2. User fills out form, submits
3. Data received by intranet webserver (https if paranoid)
4. Web server stores data (pick your target)
5. Web server triggers event on form submission (Optional)
6. Java desktop app pulls the data and process's it
It's as simple as that.
cd.
