James, There are two type of COM components in the MS library, those with a visual interface, and those without (just plain dll's). Yes, I do equate a COM component that contains a visual interface to a Java Applet. Both run inside of a "container", and both have a visual interface by which you can "pass" information to the container/backend. I don't view a JavaBean as being the same as a COM component. For one thing, you can't create an SWING/GUI visual interface inside of a JavaBean (at least to my knowledge you can't).
Just my 2 cents worth!

Where did you get that idea? The Java version of a COM component is like using a JavaBean in a jsp page (jsp:useBean). The M$ version of using an Applet in a web page is....well.....using an Applet in a web page. -- James Mitchell ----- Original Message ----- From: "Haseltine, Celeste" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Struts Users Mailing List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 10:40 AM Subject: RE: Struts taglibs - Is data grid possible > 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.
