// This implementation is simple but potentially inefficient (hence 'naive')
// For each operation is runs a separate "java -cp ... " command
// A more efficient implementation would open a connection to
// JdbmAPI and then use a bi-directional pipe for issuing commands and
// (in the case of Get) reading back the answer.
//
// While there is off-the-shelf code for a bi-directional pipe for Unix
// (see gsdl-music) this has not yet been implemented for Windows (would need
// to make use of Windows native calls to CreatePipe and CreateProcess)
