Hi Amay,

There is a complete Java binding to OpenSlide (called OpenSlide Java), 
but it is not documented nor very actively maintained.  I suggest you 
look through the source code for the org.openslide.OpenSlide class to 
get an idea of the API, and use the documentation for the OpenSlide C 
API to find out about OpenSlide's semantics.  If you're looking for an 
example, OpenSlide Java also includes a (somewhat buggy) demo viewer 
application.
