If you can setup an ODBC DSN (through the Windows control panel) to point to your spreadsheet. You may be able to make this work. I have never access Lotus 123, but I have a test program to access Excel. Perhaps you can modify this and try and make it work with Lotus 123? Sorry, best I can do...
import java.sql.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
class dbtestexcel {
    public static void main (String args []) throws SQLException {
        try {
            String url = "jdbc:odbc:jdbcexcel";
            System.out.println("Attempt url=" + url); // jdbc:odbc:&odbc;
            Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
            Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, "userName", "password");
            String sql = "SELECT * FROM Sheet1";
            Statement statement = conn.createStatement();
            ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery(sql);
            while(rs.next()) {
                System.out.println(rs.getInt(1));
                System.out.println(rs.getInt(2));               
                System.out.println(rs.getInt(3));               
                System.out.println(rs.getInt(4));               
                System.out.println(rs.getInt(5));               
            statement.close();
            conn.close();
        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Java Exception caught, error message="+e.getMessage());
}
