Mark is right, you should avoid
the MS com integration in J++
since not even MS use it.
Fortunately there are a number
of other possible routes.
Sun have an activeX-javaBeans
integration package, which makes
one look like the other..
IBM (alphaworks) have some
tools to let you invoke COM methods via JNI.
Linar have a pure java (D)Com
integration product that takes
the DCOM protocol and implements
it in java, allowing your sun to
talk DCOM!
However if you want to make
a strategic decision-as opposed
to get code working quick- you
need to read up on SOAP. (an XML
based rpc mechnism).
By the way, anyone done a
SOAP servlet yet?
