DCOM/COM+ is closer in functionality, but it is totally proprietary whereas CORBA/RMI are open standards.

COM is server-side technology and applets are client-side technology. The closest similarity between Java and M$ would be JSP = ASP/VB Script. Also, it is easy to auto-download the correct JVM to IE if an appropriate JVM is not found. Mark -----Original Message----- From: Haseltine, Celeste [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 10:41 AM You must be coming from a VB background, as a DataGrid and a MSFlexGrid are both MS COM components. The equivalent of a COM component in Java is an applet. But I caution you on using applets in a web/browser based application UNLESS you are writing an application for intranet (read: internal company) use. For internet use, where the general public will be using your web site, many of your IE users will have problems running an applet, and will most likely give up on using your site, rather than trying to figure out whether they have the right version of the JRE installed on their machine, along with IE, to run your applet. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
