Pass in parameter to vb dll.

Question

Dear Java Guru,
I need to pass in a String value from Java to VB dll. Say the vb dll has to function to accept the argument from Java. How do I pass in to the following say:
//inside VB dll
Public Function getValueFromJava(strValue As String)
MsgBox "You pass in " & strValue
End Function
Please advise how do I pass in a value to the above VB dll method from Java ?
Many thanks.

Hope this helps others facing the same problem.
Extracted code:
import com.jacob.activeX.*;
import com.jacob.com.*;
public class callDll{
     public void start(){
          ActiveXComponent xl = new ActiveXComponent("Display.clsDisplay");
          Object jacobObj = xl.getObject();
          System.out.println("Calling method...");
          Dispatch.call(jacobObj, "getValueFromJava", "Hello World");
     public static void main(String[] args){
          callDll test = new callDll();
          test.start();
}
