You should use the standard DICOM interfaces such as C-FIND. The DICOM standard documents are of course the ultimate reference guide for this, and the dcm4che DICOM toolkit (which is used by the dcm4chee archive) is an implementation of DICOM in Java. The toolkit has several examples of both client and server side services which will be helpful to you. The dcm4che toolkit has several different versions: 1.4 which is used by dcm4chee, 2.x which is widely in use by many organizations, and 3.x which is still undergoing some development but is still worthy of being used. See the Sourceforge download page to get them.
If you are writing services which are going to be used inside of dcm4chee, then I would use dcm4che14 because it is already included and highly integrated in dcm4chee. If your service will run outside of dcm4chee, then I would go with either dcm4che2 or dcm4che3 (if you want to be on the cutting edge). When you decide which toolkit you want to use and download it, you should get both the source and binary distributions. The binary will be used as a library to your application, and also have the compiled example utilities for you to play around with . The source distribution will have the source code of the examples so that you can see how to write your own application.
You may also want to join the dcm4che google group in order to ask questions of other users and developers.
