How to parse flash cookies (.SOL files) with JAVA

Question

Is there a JAVA library/class which provides parsing capabilities for Flash cookie files (.SOL) by any chance?

The user case scenario is quite simple: Given a *.SOL file I need to read all the text info (programmatically).

PS.: From a similar question someone figured out that SOL files format is based on AMF, however I would like to know whether Adobe has opened the format or not.

Thanks a lot,

Any of the following libraries claim to do the work:

AMF48AMF Encode/Decode Library for Java http://amf48.develop.jp/en/download
AMF-serializer http://code.google.com/p/amf-serializer/downloads/detail?name=amf-serializer-1.0.0.zip&can=2&q=
Open AMF http://programmaremobile.blogspot.com/2009/10/java-and-amf-by-as3-in-flash.html

Not that I am aware of.

I'm not sure if it's an open format or not but this software certainly seems to read them from the harddrive http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/flash_cookies_view.html

More info on wikipedia including a list of software reading them http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_Shared_Object

this claims to translate sol files to xml... you might be able to use this easily in Java http://osflash.org/s2x
