Hey people, I'm not even remotely qualified to get involved in this thread, but since all you experts are reading this thread maybe you can answer this question for me.
Let's assume I accept that COM is dead and that CFMX support for it will not improve. How do I deal with connecting to my DLL and using it's functionality without using ASP? In my case this COM object is a wrapper for another vendor's DLL that provides business logic. Can this be done any other way? Can the wrapper be written in Java and would then work with CFMX?
