Calling a COM API from Java

Hi,
is it possible to call methods on a COM API that is written in VB on a windows machine from Java? I'd rather not have to take the route of using JNI and keep this 100% Java. Ideally, I'm looking for a Java solution that would allow me to call methods in the COM API from different platforms (Win / Linux / Mac).
Thanks,
Shane

I've used Jacob. You can get it at:

Don't understand your Linux/Mac angle though. I've heard COM was ported to other platforms but haven't heard of it being used. Jacob is Win 32 only.

  • Calling a Web Service from Java Webdynpro

    Hi,
    Can any one give me step by setp details on how to call a Web Service from Java Webdynpro ?
    I tried creating a model using Import Web Service Model but when I completed creating the model, I got some errors as shown below.

    Hi SBK,
    I assume you may already have read the [help guide|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/81/12703e5da3e946e10000000a114084/content.htm] This gives a pretty good idea of how to do it (step by step).
    Is there a typo in the error you pasted?
    Error The method setRouteGeometryLineArray(double][) in the type Trip is not applicable for the arguments (double[]) ComplexType_Trip.java WS_INVOKE/gen_wdp/packages/com/cintas/test/model/p1 line 249
    The square brackets [] after double in the method call appear to be reversed. Is that also in the code? or just a mistake here?
    Hope this points you in the right direction.
    BRgds,

    thx
    Alizeh

    Hi
    thanks for ur reply but where were u a month ago,i really started to think that my question was enough stupid not to be answered.At present i have done with jdbc and pl/sql calls ,current concern is for sessions as i see that session id remains same when one user logs out and another logs in(if browser is not closed), same sessionid persists in my java portlet for both users.Is this an expected behaviour?? but yes new session id appears if browser is closed.
    .session clear for both application and sso after logout is checked
    .broser is set to check for new version each visit for the page
    portal version is 3.0.9.8.0 ,we r planning patch to 3.0.9.8.3 soon

  • How to Call abap functn/program from java layer

    Hi all,
        I have to develop a program which has to call abap function/program from java side or how to call a abap program through java ..
    pls send me related links or explanations.. dont send unrelated answers..
    Regards,
    Arivarasu S

    Hi,
    You mean accessing ABAP functions from J2EE perspective, then I think we can do this by using SAP Java Resource Adapter and also through webservices.
    SAP Java Resource Adapter (SAP JRA) can be used as an add-on for the SAP JCo SAP JRA enables the implementation of standard interfaces from diverse J2EE servers to the SAP JCo in the SAP Web AS. The SAP JRA thus simplifies
    communication with ABAP within heterogeneous J2EE landscapes.
    Go through the following links which has Good documentation on how to achieve this

    Since visual prolog can produce dll's, you can use JNI:

  • How can I call a COM object from a PL/SQL CODE

    Hi everyone,
    Does anyone know how to call a COM object from a stored procedure in oracle.
    a sample of code
    please help,
    Hilaire

    Are you familiar with external procedures? Basically, you can expose functions exported by a shared library (i.e. a DLL on Windows) to the Oracle database. My assumption is that you'd probably need to write a wrapper DLL around the COM object, since I believe you can only pass fundamental data types back and forth (i.e. no object references). You'd expose the method(s) of that wrapper DLL to the database via external procedures.

  • Problem while Calling a CGI pgm From Java with code sample

    Hey guys,
    I am calling a CGI program from java servlet, while calling cgi program I am passing encoded(Base64) content via post process,
    My problem is the encoded data is not posted as expected, the encoded data is corrupting. But when I send encoded data in a text file, cgi program is perfectly decoding and working fine.
    Here I am doing Base64 encoding as per requirement, I cannot avoid this encoding.
    My doubt is about OutputStreamWriter constructor argument , In OutputStream Constructor I am passing one argument is OutputStream object and another argument is encoding type. I tried with ASCII, US-ASCII & UTF-8 .
    My code is as follows, please help me to resolve this issue.
    URL url = new URL("CGI server path");
    URLConnection urlConnection = url.openConnection();
    urlConnection.setDoOutput(true);
    OutputStream os = urlConnection.getOutputStream();
    BufferedOutputStream buffer = new BufferedOutputStream(os);
    OutputStreamWriter  writer = new
                                                   OutputStreamWriter(buffer, "US-ASCII");
    writer.write(encodedPDF-Content);
    writer.write("\r\n");
    writer.flush();
    writer.close();
    here encodedPDF-Content is String and it's size is 9565 bytes

    Whenever you read something in java into string (with Reader implementation) it expects source to contain text in encoding you specified. It then decodes it and makes 16 bit unicode string from it. Whenever you store string using Writers it does reverse operation with specified encoding (may be different than this which you used to read source) and stores text as a sequence of bytes made of 16 bit unicode string. So, passing text back and forth between programs with the help of files or I/O you can make mistake at both reading and writing encoding. Check for it.
    Now, when C programm or other application reads file it may take another assumptions about encoding or may even completly ignore it and read source as a binary file. Then, if you have a source text as a file and have to pass it to other application never do it using Reader/Writer. User raw InputStream/OutputStream instead what will preserve all information unchanged.
    here encodedPDF-Content is String and it's size is 9565 byteHow id you get this info? String.length() gets you how many chars is in it, it will be half the number of bytes. If you see your input file beeing 9565 bytes long, see my above statements.
