Any IPC that you have to write from scratch is going have a not insignificant level of complexity whether it's raw sockets, pipes, http, whatever. Since it sounds like you can't introduce any additional software packages, you might want to consider using RMI (see the java.rmi package). At least then, you're coding to an API instead of having to invent message formats and protocols.
