Thanx in advance

Yes, http://www.xmlsp.com/ has a toolkit for doing this. It is something they wrote themselves by looking at and analyzing the underlying source code of a datawindow. And I don't think that it is free or completely automated, but you can certainly go to their website and get the details. I don't want to speak to the specifics of their tool because I am not familar with it.
As for XML, that can be done in PowerScript. You can communicate with the IE XML parser and create your XML structure for a datawindow. PowerBuilder 9 will include the ability to export a datawindow to XML natively.

Another option...You can deploy a nonvisual object that uses a datastore to EAServer and invoke that from a java client using CORBA. You can pass the data using a resultset object.
