You want to check out the FastAGI interface of Asterisk.  Basically,
Asterisk will talk to a FastAGI-compliant program over the network. 
In short, you'll run your Java program as a daemon of sorts, accepting
socket connections from Asterisk.

Does this make sense?  If not, I'll try to explain it better.
