Find SQL Servers using Java

Question

This might be a basic question, but I tried googling it and couldn't find an answer.

I need to make a list of all the SQL Servers on a network. This is very easy to do using the .NET framework (System.Data.Sql.SqlDataSourceEnumerator), but is there also a relatively simple way to do this in java as well? While I was doing my research, I came across the possibility of listening in at different ports, but that seemed un-user friendly. Any ideas?

Thank you all so much.

You can use

osql -L

and parse output.
