I've just been handed a bunch of ASP code along with some ActiveX objects.
Since our company has a long standing policy of NO MS outside the firewall I am faced
with a dilema.
The general consensus here is that we should re-write these ASP pages into JSP. I
don't think that will be too hard. The hard part is this:
How do I convert the ActiveX objects (written originally in C++) into Java Beans short
of completely re-writing the code in Java.
The problem is that this particular ActiveX object is used to generate a very specific
key that unlocks some software we are hoping to ship soon. The number that it
generates needs to be exactly the right number or the software won't unlock. I'm
worried that if I re-write this stuff in Java it may not generate the same number.
I haven't dug too deep into the process that the ActiveX Object uses to generate the
number and I'm hoping I won't have to.
Is there anyway to "wrap" the ActiveX object somehow so I can serve it up like a bean?
Or is there any sort of automated converter that would change it for me?
Please help with ideas. I'm afraid I'm going to have to re-write this stuff in Java
which wouldn't be too hard except that means I have to try understand the ActiveX
object and all of its accompanying .h files and .cpp files and on and on.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
