Ahmad,
You can use OCX components in Java and JSP, but it is not easy and not
recommended. MS uses the registry to find a control that is called from
within VC++ or VB, Java does not use or understand the concept of a
registry. I have a book that explains how to incorporate Active X
components into Java/JSP products, but I don't have it in the office here
with me, so I will try and remember to bring it tomorrow. But if my memory
serves me correctly, you have to write a Java wrapper around the controls
dll source code, and then you write a Java "calling class" to the control.
This requires you to have the source code, so you can't use the MS built in
controls that come with VC++ or VB. You can only do this with your own
Active X dll source code. It is NOT recommended (by the book) to try and do
this with VB created controls, only with VC++ created controls. The book
also recommends NOT trying to incorporate "Java wrapped Active X controls"
on non-Windows platforms.
Just as an aside note, I did work a project with another developer (25 yr
veteran) who claims to have successfully incorporated a VC++ control into a
JSP page on a Unix box, using Apache and Tomcat. Apparently the control was
custom made for the client in VC++, and when the company was purchased, the
new owner requested that the site be ported over to Unix/Java/JSP, but did
not want to pay for redeveloping the functionality of the custom control.
But I never saw the ported product in action, so I don't know if the guy was
pulling my leg, or if his statement was "for real". Anyone else out there
have any experience using Active X controls within Java/JSP?
I will try and remember to bring that book in with me Wed and post a message
regarding where you can find this info.
