Sun has written a piece of software called the COM bridge which makes it easy for a Visual Basic or Visual C++ program to create and manipulate Java objects. I'm not sure if it provides a method for a Java process to talk to COM objects or not. I would start my search by looking at the COM bridge. See www.javasoft.com . You can always use JNI to make calls to native code. Your Java objects could make JNI calls to a small native code library which could then communicate with your COM objects. Another way would be to communicate with network sockets. The Java object can open a network socket to a piece of native code which would communicate with the COM objects. You can establish your own protocol for communication between the two sides. A more formal variation of the socket method is to use an established protocol such as SOAP. The idea behind SOAP is that one object, (of any language), sends an HTTP message to another object, (of any language), with an embedded request in a formal XML syntax. The receiving object acts on the request and then passes back a response, again in a formal XML syntax. Sun's web site probably has information on SOAP. I know that www.microsoft.com has information as well. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Rogers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, September 30, 2001 1:52 AM To: JRun-Talk Subject: Can you talk to a COM object with JRUN-JSP? Can you talk to a COM object with JRUN-JSP? In ColdFusion I can talk to a COM object on a NT server by using: CFOBJECT. The CFOBJECT tag allows you to call methods in COM Is there something similar for JSP in JRUN? I have an application that is written using COM objects. Today both MS-ASP and ColdFusion access the COM objects. The COM object contains the Business logic.
