Hi David,
To use something similar to VBScript/COM objects in java you would use
JSP/JavaBeans.
You then have compiled java classes (your beans) like your COM objects which
are used by JSP pages (like your ASP pages).
You can also include any java class you like in your JSP page with the
'import' tag. I can't see really why you'd want to access a servlet from a
JSP, but you can send the http request to a servlet from a JSP. I think you
need to read up a bit more about how to use JSP, servlets and beans in a web
application since you can do everything with JSP that you can with ASP and
more.
Javascript and Java are seperate technologies - ASP and COM are designed to
be used together. Oh, and of course they're (to all intents and purposes)
platform specific and proprietry, limitations java doesn't have.
Hope this clarifies things a little (even though I havn't really said
anything different to the previous answer).
cheers
Paul
