Never worked with the Java Open Client in V9 - didn't really know that it was available back then as I am pretty sure the open client technology ( including Java, .NET and WebServices ) was introduced with OpenEdge 10. IIRC there was some toolkit available though ...
Here is a code sample to connect to a state-fee AppServer ( which I use in a java servlet used in Google Web Toolkit application ):
package com.jra.app.gug.server;
import com.google.gwt.user.server.rpc.RemoteServiceServlet;
import com.jra.app.gug.client.ASConnection;
import com.jra.app.gug.client.User;
import com.progress.open4gl.*;
import com.progress.open4gl.javaproxy.*;
import com.jra.app.gug.server.*;

public class AppServerConnection extends RemoteServiceServlet implements ASConnection
{
// AppServer connection parameters
private final String APP_SERVER_URL = "AppServer://uat-addonsec.appl.jra.ch:5162/aos_icfrepos_java";
private final String AS_USER_NAME = "";
private final String AS_PASSORD = "";
private final String APP_SERVER_INFO = "";
private Connection appServerConnection = new Connection ( APP_SERVER_URL, AS_USER_NAME, AS_PASSORD, APP_SERVER_INFO );
private user appServer = null;
public AppServerConnection ( ) throws IOException
{
try
{
// Connect the AppServer
appServerConnection.setSessionModel ( 1 ); // State-free AppServer
appServer = new user ( appServerConnection );
System.out.println ( "(I) Connection to AppServer successfully established." );
}
catch ( com.progress.open4gl.Open4GLException ex )
{
// If there is an application defined return string, then display it
if ( ( String ) ( ex.getProcReturnString ( ) ) != null )
{
System.out.println ( ( String ) ( ex.getProcReturnString ( ) ) );
}
else
{
// Display Progress defined error message
System.out.println ( ex.toString ( ) );
// Or display new generic message
System.out.println ( "(E) Connection to AppServer failed." );
}
}
} // Constructor
public void destroy ( )
{
if ( appServer != null )
{
try {
appServer._release ( );
} catch (SystemErrorException e) {
System.out.println ( e.toString ( ) );
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (Open4GLException e) {
System.out.println ( e.toString ( ) );
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
if ( appServerConnection != null )
{
try {
appServerConnection.releaseConnection ( );
} catch (Open4GLException e) {
System.out.println ( e.toString ( ) );
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}

You should read the Java Open Client book which comes as part of the PDF documentation. It contains all the explanations you need - for my part I found it very helpful.
