DB2 AS400 Snapshot

This is more a hypothetical question, but anyhow...we have the following
problem:

There is a possibility that, in the near future, we are to make a DB2
snapshot of a AS/400-based table to a Windows platform. Now, since we
have no real AS/400 systems to fiddle with ourselves, we figured one way
to do this is via Java stored procedure that would get the data from DB2
on AS/400 and then move them via ODBC to DB2 on Windows.

The question is - is that possible? Does the standard ODBC also natively
include support for AS/400?

Why not write a web service interface to your DB400 data? Then you
could consume it as needed from a .NET client on windows?

(I do this all the time).

So you would recommend web service over this direct replication
procedure? If so, why?
