The exact format of rpmdb is a private rpm implementation detail. Its 
not Berkeley DB bindings to Java you want, but librpm bindings. 
Unfortunately nobody has written one, AFAIK.

http://jrpm.sourceforge.net/ might come closest but to my understanding 
its more of a reimplementation of rpm in Java rather than bindings to 
librpm.
