It's on-topic, it's just I don't think we have that many Java
programmers.

I'm not a Java programmer, and I'm not quite sure what you want. If
you are using http then whether the app and the repository are on the
same machine is irrelevant.

If you have a mod_dav_svn server then you certainly can talk to it
using http, but generating the correct commit http without using the
subversion libraries is quite a complex tast. That's what the
libraries are for.

I assume your app is manipulating a local working copy, in which case
you want to call svn_client_commit. This is a C function so, as far
as I know, this means you need a JNI wrapper for it. This wrapper
could be generated by SWIG (I know as much about SWIG as I do about
Java :) or you could create it manually.
