That's not difficult:
1.) Establish a ssh connecton from the client formwaarding to the
dbhost (port is the port number on the local host being forwarded):
ssh -L port:dbhost:5432 dbhost
or (as I regularly do)
ssh -2 -n -N -L port:dbhost:5432 dbhost
You'll probably have to set up some identities to make this
work conveniently.
2.) Then you can connect to the remote database by using
db = DriverManager.getConnection
( "jdbc:postgresql://localhost:"+port+"/"+dbname, user, pass );
Where post is the local port and dbname is the (remove) database
name.
