Oh I dunno mate. I reckon I may well have mentioned VB in a Friday [BEER] thread... ;-> (Victoria Bitter) If the client is using Internet Explorer you should be able to invoke VB objects clientside using VBScript in your page. If you need it to happen on the server however that wont be much help. (I do believe there are libraries to help with this (or at least invoking activeX/OLE stuff from java - if its not activeX you may have a bigger problem!) but I cant help you much with that as Ive not tried it myself.) -----Original Message----- From: Pingili, Madhupal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 16 July 2003 22:15 To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: [OT]How to invoke Visual Basic Objects from Java Servlet(Action in Struts)? Hello Everyone, I don't think I have ever seen VB word (even as misspelled) on this mailing list. But I have an interesting project where I have to use VB objects for printing/faxing purposes. These VB objects are developed by EIS vendor to be used in custom applications for printing/faxing purposes. Here are my options: 1. I have to develop a VB application and install on client's desktop for querying print/fax services on EIS. This is entirely possible. However, I don't like this option. That's why, I am asking the help of experts on this mailing list. 2. I have already developed a Struts-based web application for querying/viewing information from EIS using their Resource Adapter. This Resource Adapter does not support the printing/faxing services that VB objects support. So, the real question is, How can I use Struts Action to invoke VB objects just like Java objects? 3. If I install VB runtime environment on client's desktop, can I somehow use Applet to invoke VB objects just like Java objects? I guess it comes down to using VB objects in Java code. I am looking for a Java API (~java2vb.jar) that can be copied under Web-inf/lib same way we copy Struts jar files and use them in Actions just like Java objects. I guess I need more help on this part of the process. I have read about J-Integra but don't have much information. If anyone has used J-Integra for this purpose, can you give me some guidance or share your thoughts on this effort. I appreciate any ideas/help for me to use Struts for this project. I guess this is not an Off Topic for this mailing list.
