Call a method in VB dll from Java Web Application

Hi,
I'm trying to call a method of a VB dll, from a web application developing with J2EE. Is it possible without JNI? And, if it is not possible with a tool, can you help me with an example of JNI using?

Call rfc from Java Web application.

Hi:
I am new to SAP Java programming.
I am developing a java web application on SAP NW SP16.
I need to call a rfc and process the data to be displayed on a jsp page.
I have few questions...
1) Can I use the JCO destination created in thru wed dynpro content administrator, to connect to sap and execute the rfc/bapi?
2) How would I create and access the model (rfc)?
3) Are the required jar and dll(rfc32.dll ... ) files available on the server?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
See the follwoing links which contains sample code to ceate JCO and execute BAPI.

Can't connect to Oracle XE instance from Java web application

I'm a long-time Java developer but can't figure this out.
I've been pouring over the forum for over a week and can't
find the solution that will let me connect.
Hardware: Intel/Vista.
DB: Oracle Express 10G.
Application: Java web application (Jakarta Struts)
Application Server: Tomcat 5.5
I copied the latest JDBC driver from OTN into my app server's "/LIB" directory.
I get no driver errors. ("ojdbc14.JAR)"
I can connect locally from my TOAD client, using SYSTEM/PASSWORD/XE.
My listeners seem to be OK.
Depending on which connection string I use from my Java application,
I get one of two messages.
"ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied"
OR

    while (rset.next())
        System.out.println (rset.getString(1));   // Print col 1

}There are several different ways to configure OracleDataSources:

Calling back c++ method in an exe (not a dll) from java?

Hi all,
I have to make an hybrid C++/java from an existing C++
application that compiled is a big single exe not a dll.
I'm running under win32.
The application consists of several windows. The hybrid
will have widows in C++ and some in java. They have the
same menu and tool bar. In the C++, there are some
callbacks called when a button is pressed. How to call
these callback from java given the fact that the JVM and
the java classes are launched by the exe file.
I know how, from C++, start JVM and call my java window.
I also know how to call a C++ method that is in a dll from
java. It's from the tutorial
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/native1.1/index.html
But I don't know how to call a C++ method that is in in an
exe which has launch a JVM from an object running in this
JVM.
Is there somewhere an example like this?
Thanks,
Xavier.

Is it possible to call a method in a servlet from a java script ?

I need to do a dynamic html page . In the page i select some things and then these things must communicate whit a servlet because the servlet will do some DB querys and update the same webpage.
So is it possible to actually call a method of a servlet from a java script? i want to do something that looks like this page:
http://www.hebdo.net/v5/search/search.asp?rubno=4000&cregion=1011&sid=69DHOTQ30307151
So when u select something in the first list the secodn list automaticly updates.
thank you very much

You can
1. load all the options when loading the page and
set second selection options when user selected
the first; or
2. reload the page when user select first selection
by 'onChange' event; or
3. using iframe so you only need to reload part of
the page.

Fall into a trouble when calling a dll from java in linux

Hi, experts:
I encountered a big trouble when using JNI to call a C++-compiled DLL from java in Linux: The DLL function didn't execute immediately after the invocation, and was deferred till the end of the Java execution. But all worked well after migrating to windows. This problem made me nearly crazy. Can somebody help me? Thanks in advance.
Linux: fedora core 8, jdk1.6.0_10,
compile options: g++ -fPIC -Wall -c
g++ -shared

It looks like the OP compiled the C source file and linked it into a Windows .dll, which would explain why it worked flawlessly in Windows. (Though I must say the usage of GCC would make someone think it was compiled in Linux for Linux, GCC also exists for Windows, so I'm not sure it's a Windows .dll either...)
@OP: Hello and welcome to the Sun Java forums! This situation requires you to make both a .dll and a .so, for Windows and Linux. You can then refer to the correct library for the operating system using System.loadLibrary("myLibrary"); without any extension.

To call a VB dll from java

Hi,
I want to know how one can call a VB dll from Java.I know it is something like calling a C dll which in turn calls the VB dll.I also went through the tutorial provided on the sun site and was able to call a C dll through java but I still do not know how to call a VB dll from java.

How would I call a method inside a dll?

How would I call a method inside a dll? Is it even possible in Java? Like in VB you would do something like this: XXX.dll --> XXX.Activate()... I have already loaded the dll like this:
String xxx = "C:/WINDOWS/system32/xxx.dll";
System.load(xxx);
Please help?

I've got another question.
I've gone through the link you posted and a couple others that I found.
I am able to create an interface using the windows kernel32.dll and go through an example I found.
But when I try to use a dll that I have from another application, I have problems.
Here is what I have for the interface.
public interface IAiCamDeviceControl extends StdCallLibrary {
     public IAiCamDeviceControl INSTANCE=(IAiCamDeviceControl)Native.loadLibrary("D:\\IAiCamDeviceControl.dll",IAiCamDeviceControl.class);
//        public long GetVersion( String s );
//        public long Close();
}The interface that works looks like this:
public interface Kernel32 extends StdCallLibrary {
     public Kernel32 INSTANCE=(Kernel32)Native.loadLibrary("Kernel32",Kernel32.class);I thought that the problem might be using the path name for the library, so I copied it into the system32 directory.
Still get the same error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Unable to load library 'D:\IAiCamDeviceControl.dll': The specified module could not be found.
My main looks like
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
//          Kernel32 lib=Kernel32.INSTANCE;
//          Kernel32.SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS batteryStatus=new Kernel32.SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS();
//          lib.GetSystemPowerStatus(batteryStatus);
//          System.out.println(batteryStatus);
            IAiCamDeviceControl camDev = IAiCamDeviceControl.INSTANCE;
}The commented part is from the version that worked.
All I attempted to do here was just create an instance of the interface.
Any idea why I can't access the dll?
The dll is the same one that is used successfully in VB, C#, and C++ demo programs, so I suspect it is a good dll.

Calling a method in BPM Object from jsf page

Hi All,
How do I call a method in BPM object from JSF page? Is it possible to invoke it in a manner similar to invoking a method from managed bean in JSF application?
Please help.
Thanks and Regards,
Veronica

You can use f:invoke (or f:invokea to with parameters)
For ajax calls, you can use f:invokeUrl to get the URL to a particular method within your BPM object, although make sure the Server-Side Method property is set to Yes.

Call a method in the view from Component Controller

Hi Friends,
I have written the code for calling the RFC in Component Controller.
My requirement is to change the properties of UI elements in the view, if I get any exception while calling RFC.
Can Call a method in the view from Component Controller.
Regards,
Lakshmi Prasad.

HI,
You can get the error message during the exception of calling RFC in view itself.
Any way you may call the RFC at some action in the view only.
Can you explain me what you are trying to do?

Need call a method of one iview from another iview

Hi,
There are 2 iviews in a component.
1) FirstView - contains abc() method & xyz() methods
2) SecondView (a popup) - asdf() method
i want to call abc() method from asdf() method. i.e. i want to call a method of the firstview from the secondview.
Note:
1) i couldn't able to copy the code of abc() method to component controller, as it has the code which uses (iview) local attributes (this can be done by context mapping) & main reason is from the method it calls the xyz() method of the same view (again i couldn't call a method of iview from component controller).
2) firstView contain 5 tabs, i want to be in the same tab from which secondview (popup) was called, if i use fire plugs between both view, the current tab will be chnaged (i suppose, not sure).
3) can we use event handlers, if yes how can we do that.
Please provide a better solution for calling a method of view from another view.
Thanks
Maha
Edited by: Maha Hussain on Jan 13, 2009 12:40 PM

Hi Maha,
It is better to have such methods in the component controller to make it reusable and avoid writing same code again and again.
You can have that method in component controller and call that method on click on a button from Iview1 and can pass the parameters in the mthgod only.
for example.
Say Method abc() which is currently in Iview1 and you are passing values from context say aa bb cc to the method now what i am suggesting is
have that method abc(String aa, String bb, String cc) ;
and call it on click on button in Iview1 and pass the required parameters.
Hope this will help
