Using ActiveX bridge

Hello!
Has anyone used the ActiveX Bridge with TopLink? Does it work???

Well, I would like to take advantage of TopLink and create my business components all in Java and reuse them in any programming language for Windows, like Delphi or Visual Basic for example. If I encapsulate my queries into JavaBeans is it possible to package it into an ActiveX with Sun's ActiveX bridge?
So I would have only an windows interface in any language and all the business in Java...

Catching Events from Com side using ActiveX bridge

Hi,
I have packaged a java swing application into an activex control using the ActiveX bridge. I now need to be able to fire events from my java code which the com/VB code needs to be able to trap. The event handler on the com side looks like this: function(BSTR param1, BSTR param2, BSTR param3), but the java event model only allows passing the EventObject in the param for the introspector to work. How do I fire an activex event that the com client is able to trap??

Thanks, beders. Your solutions above works, although I found the only way to install the SDK was to the use following URL rather then the one beders suggested:
http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/XPSP2FULLInstall.htm
This SDK is the full one and not just the Core SDK so may take a little longer to download.
You also need to ensure that the location to cmd.exe (ie. C:\WINDOWS\system32) is on the path variable otherwise SetEnv.bat fails when it calls cmd.

Problems with the ActiveX bridge for Java beans when using third-party .jar

I encountered the following problem when using the ActiveX bridge for a java bean:
I am using JDK 1.4.2_09 and MS Visual Basic 6.0 (SP6). I wrote a java bean called ProcessViewer (my class ProcessViewer inherits from JComponent and implements the interfaces Serializable and AdjustmentListener) which I would like to use within a VB 6.0 application. I used the ActiveX bridge (packager.exe) to generate a DLL (ProcessViewer.dll) and registered it successfully. The java bean GUI-control works fine within my VB 6.0 application unless my java bean (ProcessViewer.jar) uses any third-party .jar files.
But when I tried to add a reference to some third-party class (com.sap.xxx.xxx....) I got some problems. I could solve the problem with packager.exe by setting the correct CLASSPATH. But at runtime my VB 6.0 application does not work. It crashes or it reports an error like this: "The control ... could not be loaded from axbridge.dll" (although I deployed my .jar file correctly to the directory C:\Programme\Java\j2re1.4.2_09\axbridge\bin and lib). Setting the CLASSPATH environment variable before calling my VB 6.0 application (exe) did not solve the problem.
How can I teach my VB 6.0 application (containing the Java bean ActiveX control) where to find the third-party .jar file? Copying the third-party .jar file to the JRE lib-folder or to the axbridge\lib folder did not solve the problem either.
I studied the documentation about the ActiveX bridge given at:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/beans/axbridge/developerguide/index.html
but I am missing informations on how the third-party .jar files can be found during runtime of the ActiveX container (e. g. a VB 6.0 application).

Interfacing problems using the Activex Bridge

I have a bean that's based on a JPanel. I am packaging it and then using it in Visual Basic as an OCX component.
I have to adhere to an interface on the VB side so that the bean will plug into the rest of our product.
I'm hitting several problems, all of which I'm attributing to to the fact that the packager introspects the interface for the typelib instead of asking me what I want to expose and how I want to expose it.
1) Getter/Setter methods for properties which contain additional attributes arent recognised as such.
e.g. for property foo:
public int getFoo() is fine
but
public int getFoo(int extraCriteria) doesn't work.
The packager doesn't recognise it as a valid getter and so doesn't bind it to Foo in the typelib.
NB: I've also tried explicitly binding the methods in the bean's beanInfo, (using PropertyDescriptors), but to no effect.
2) Typelib is only generated for the top level bean so how do I provide a similar interface for any java object that it returns?
Any java objects that I return from methods in my bean cannot be interfaced:
Therefore I have to deal with them all as VB Object and I'm also back to square one with my getFoo instead of "= Foo" problem.
3) The packager arbitrarily listens to, and exposes, any events that my class throws. This includes events that are fired from any of the classes that I'm extending. Therefore I'm getting 20+ events showing up from my JPanel on the VB side, NONE of which I'm interested in. When the packager finds an event firing method it automatically exposes it AND registers the activex bridge as a listener of it. Again this is a case of the packager introspecting instead of asking the programmer what they want to expose...
Basically I need help in either a) solving these specific problems, or b) coming at it from the opposite end and finding a way of getting control over what is exposed to VB. (Although this doesn't help me with problem 2)
Any suggestions?

and I'm also back to square one with my getFoo instead

you receive from your first bean can be analyzed via the
java reflection mechanism on the VB side. Somewhere in the
documentation for the ActiveX Packager, there is sample code
on how to do this (how to get the class, find a method, invoke the
method, create new objects for some other class, pass it to your bean
etc).

Again this is a case of the packager introspecting

marked as dispinterface). This interface has to contain all
events for the bean. I suppose the packager just goes and
collects all events it finds for the bean, including all the
inherited ones. The bridge has to be registered for all of them,
otherwise no event could pass through.

ActiveX bridge uses applet security model???

Hello,
During execution my ActiveX bean has no permissions to make something, but I need it at least able to access files. ActiveX bridge documentation says that the bean is executed with all permissions. Is something was changed in 1.5 release?
Anton

Seems like axbridge doesnt use the applet security model if you have the following folder structure:
<JRE>\axbridge\bin\mybean.dll
<JRE>\axbridge\lib\mybean.jar
But then there are a lot of bugs, and the bug workaround is to rename the lib folder after registering the dll (and updating the path to the jarfile in the registry):
<JRE>\axbridge\bin\mybean.dll
<JRE>\axbridge\bug_workaround_lib\mybean.jar
But then we get another problem: the applet security model is turned on...

ASP page hang for calling ActiveX bridge!!!

Below are the steps I done
Note: Using jdk1.5.1.
1) It is my java program, i make it as simple program
public class FirstProgram{
public FirstProgram(){
public String getMessage(){
return "hello";
2) My manifest.stub is like this:
Name: FirstProgram.class
Java-Bean: true
3) Then I generate the "FirstProgram.jar" file.
4) Then I register like this
jdk1.5.1\bin\packager -out C:\Program Files\Java\ j2re1.5.1\axbridge\bin -reg FirstProgram.jar FirstProgram
5) I tested this dll with Visual Basic. It works fine.
6) I tested this dll with VB script in ASP.
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
Dim oTest
Set oTest = CreateObject("FirstProgram.Bean.1")
Response.Write oTest.getMessage()
Set oTest = Nothing
%>
or I tried like this
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
Dim oTest
Set oTest = Server.CreateObject("FirstProgram.Bean.1")
Response.Write oTest.getMessage()
Set oTest = Nothing
%>
Page will be be unavaible and i run it again (then IIS will hang and die).
1) How do i solve this problem? Why it is able to run in VB not in asp? Is it because IIS bug?
Note: Windows Server 2003 IIS 6.0/ Windows XP IIS 5.1 ( I have tested it on
these two environments, it gave me same results).
2) I read some forums said we might need to use javareg.exe to register this component. Is it true? Where can I get this component?
Thanks for you help!!!

I am having the same problem.
I am running Windows 2003 Server and trying to create the object, but it is hanging. I am running the Sun JRE 1.5.3 ActiveX Bridge.
I have tried both IIS6 and IIS5 Isolation Mode, but neither work. Under IIS5, IIS just hangs.
HELP!

Does the ActiveX Bridge work if not C++ installed?

I've been reading the ActiveX Bridge developer guide at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/beans/axbridge/developerguide/index.html
and it seems that you must have Visual C++ installed to run the packager.exe to create a dll. I kind of wasn't sure whether to believe that so I tried the Person tutorial (thanks scsi-boy) at
http://www.reallyusefulcomputing.com/java/activex/tutorial.php
and tried tweaking it to use the new 1.4.2 packager but I got the error
C:\j2sdk1.4.2\bin>packager -reg c:\PersonBean.jar Person
Failed to generate type library, missing midl.exe.which gives me the idea that I really do need C++ installed to run this (I'm guessing midl.exe is part of C++) - bit of downer when we only have VB.
Can this really be true? Have any VB people got it working out there?

packager.exe depends on the tools available with Visual C++, and therefore you must have it installed to make the packager work. Visual C++ IS NOT required to execute the bean, only to run the packager.exe.

Problems with context in JAXB and ActiveX bridge

Hello!
I'm using Java ActiveX Bridge for accesing from Navision to a digital invoice API developed by spanish Industry, Commerce and Tourism Department.
I successfully executed the invoice creation process from a standalone java application. However, it doesn't work through activex bridge.
I suspect the problem is probably related to a classloader woe. Here's the first code snippet I used:

According problem 1: this is not normal behavior and you could try first to restart Bridge holding down option key to reset the preferences.
But if you experience this also on the server I don't know if this solutions works. And according to problem 2, you should open a case on Adobe support using the little contact button top right on this page, not many users (including me) of this forum are using a server or know a lot about of that workflow :-(
You could try a forum search also on the word server (Search for forum only works when you are on the mainpage with al the post for Bridge for some strange reason...)

Problems with Activex bridge

I am having problems with my VB 6.0 program that uses a Java Activex Bridge. When I shut down my VB 6.0 application the service control manager logs a message in the event log that the program terminated unexpectedly.
I have done some analysis and I have realised that the service control manager outputs this message only when my VB application creates the Java activex object. It appears that for some reason the Java object does not destruct cleanly.
I have got 2 versions of Java plug-in 1.3.0 and 1.3.0_02. Only 1.3.0_02 is enabled. I am not sure whether are any known issues with the version of the plug-in I am using which causes this behaviour.
I will be grateful for any suggestion which would help me in resolving the above problem.

Check the registry. The activeX has a CLSID, the CLSID points to a jar file (HKCR/CLSID/{$CLSID}) does this jar exist?
Does the beans.ocx used exist. Is it used in a plug-in that works (in the control panel there a Java Plug in for each version).

COM+ and ActiveX bridge vs earlier bridge

Any help would be appreciated.
Looks like we may be having a problem with the following...
1. ASP page accesses (2)
2. VB component registered as COM+ which calls on instances of (3)
3. Java classes registered using previous COM (javareg.exe)
We're getting (sproadically) marshalling problems.
0x8001010E is the error we're seeing. Text is:
Automation error The application called an interface that
was marshalled for a different thread.
Any ideas? Could the new ActiveX bridge resolve this?

Okay, I might as well update this problem.
The marshalling problems were solved by changing the COM+ threading settings for that VB app to "REQUIRES_NEW" to force a new context for each instance. Otherwise, the stupid COM+ components want to "share" each other's instances... That solved that problem.

ActiveX Bridge tutorial

Hi,
Can anyone please point me to a turorial or guide on how to use the ActiveX bridge? I am basically looking for a description on how to incorporate my bean into Microsoft Word, for example.
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Walter.

I'm not the original poster but I came here with the
same question. I'm having some difficulty making this
work.
I'm working with my own bean rather than the example
you gave, but it's also a very simple one that I wrote
for learning to use the bridge, and I think the same
techniques should apply.
On the application side, I'm using Visual Basic for
Applications in Word 97, under Windows 2000.
If I try to follow your instructions by executing this
code at the start of my macro:
Dim been As Object
Set been = CreateObject("JBtrial.Bean.1")
in vba i don't bother with the dim but i just tried As Object and it works. in vb btw i use Variant...
I get this error:
Run-time error '-2147024770 (8007007e)':
Automation error
The specified module could not be found
this is kind of a wierd one but i may have seen it before.
try
use the jre 1.3.1 international version. i don't know why this makes a difference but it does. in fact when i first started using the bridge i spent two weeks smacking into the problem that it never worked until i noticed someone else here was using the international version and the first time i tried it it worked.it doesn't seem to matter for the deployment actually it is just the packaging tool seems to only work in the international version.
catch didn'tHelpMuchException
make sure of all the other obvious things like the references in the registry. in particular check the entries for JarFileName, JavaClass, InprocServer32, win32 do these all point to a file and directory that actually exists. if not make the changes re-reg and try again.
finally
i don't think this matters yet but it's still worth mentioning, after you load the control for the first time in word etc it keeps that control no matter what happens. so if you make changes or re-package or re-reg or whatever for any reason you MUST restart the application for the changes to take affect.
well let me know how it goes and i'll try and help if u are still stuck

Debug under ActiveX bridge

I am writing a beam using to connect a servlet for a Excel VB ActiveX plug-in.
My bean cannot connect to the web server correctly.
( but it is ok when i used the beans in pure java environment )
I found it is difficult to debug the bean,
I cannot do any println or printStackTrace
is there any way make the debug process more easier ??

I use the command line entry in the Java Plugin Configuration
(-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8002,server=y,suspend=n)
and use Netbeans 3.5 for attaching the debugger to the JVM that runs my Beans. (Assuming your using the ActiveX Bridge delivered with Java 1.4.2)

How to extend the JVue applet class using ActiveX Control

My SR recommendation was to post this here:
) How to Extend the JVue Applet class
This is the preferred solution. However, when using the ActiveX control, my derived JVue class that is specified in autovue.properties is not being instantiated.
Your ActiveX bridge looks like it's hard coding a "new JVue()" which means I have no integration hook using the ActiveX control.
To reiterate, if I extend JVue to add functionality and specify it in the autovue.properties, it is picked up when I run it standalone but if I use the ActiveX component, it is not being picked up.
I have already read all the documentation, have had web conferences with Mahmood and Jeff Chapman and the engineering staff who recommended this approach as the preferred option.

We have a need to override certain VueBean/JVue method calls to meet our document handling(documents need to handle metadata information and hence change the document loading cycle, ie markup loading/XRef resolution is dynamic). Also the invokeAction/invokeSubAction do not allow parameter passing(which we have requirements for certain actions again due to metadata) so we would like to override the invokeAction method to include custom processing(we will encode the action with parameters).
We are already using Custom VueActions for other simpler UI event handling that don't have parameter requirements.
As I said above, these use cases were relayed to the engineering team and senior staff members in early December and we were told that we could proceed with overriding the main class in the autovue.properties file. I have SR(s) opened with a long thread detailing this so I really don't want to go through this again.
A custom VueAction does not seem to work because it binds to late in the object call/event stream.

Problem calling java from vb via activex bridge

I am trying to call java from vb via ActiveX Bridge and I am running into problems. I would appreciate any help.
I am using Visual Basic 2010 express, and Java JDK 1.6.0_16. I have used the http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/guide/beans/axbridge/developerguide/index.html page as a guideline. To try to make it work I took the following steps:
1. Wrote a very simple java class (below):
package xxx;
import java.io.Serializable;
public class axb implements Serializable {
public int get_axb_Handle() {
int Address = 12345678;
return Address;
2. After I compiled, and created the jar file. I built the dll using the following command:
"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_16\bin\packager" -out "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_16\jre\axbridge\bin" E:\axb\dist\axb.jar xxx.axb
3. I then registered using: regsvr32 axb.dll
4. In Visual Basic Express IDE I use Project -> Add Reference to add Iterop.axb (dump below), and axb namespace
5. In my basic code I use the following lines
Dim axb1 As axb.axb
axb1 = New axb.axb <== Crash here with AccessViolationException ( full exception below)
What am I missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

h2. Object Creation
For starters, when you create an ActiveX object from within VB, use:
Set myObject = CreateObject("JavaObject.Bean")When I refer to JavaObject.Bean, I'm meaning the full object name + ".Bean". So, in your case, you should use:
Set myObject = CreateObject("xxx.axb.Bean")h2. Location
The .dll file must be located in the JRE that is used at the time of calling. Meaning, the .dll file must be placed under <jre_home>\axbridge\bin and registered there.
In your case:
DLL:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\axbridge\bin
Jar:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\axbridge\libh4. A Note:
The only supported JRE is a 32bit version as far as I know with regards to the ActiveX bridge. Just like the packager.exe can only be found in the 32bit JDK.
h2. Methods
h3. Object Types
ActiveX Bridge does not support passing literals or arrays. However, it does support passing java's primitive data types as Objects.
Simply meaning:
h4. Invalid:
public int get_axb_Handle() {
     int Address = 12345678;
     return Address;
}h4. Valid:
public Integer get_axb_Handle() {
     int Address = 12345678;
     return Address;
}On a normal circumstance, there's little difference between the two methods. However, in the second example, the JVM does a typecast from a literal data type to a object data type, resulting in a valid object to pass through to Visual Basic. Now, obviously there are multiple ways to do a proper change, new Integer(int) for example. It doesn't matter to me. At the end of the day, you have to pass an object.
As a side note, the same idea applies when receiving data from Visual Basic.
h4. Invalid:
public void set_axb_Handle(int newHandle) {
     int Address = newHandle;
}h4. Valid:
public void set_axb_Handle(Integer newHandle) {
     int Address =newHandle;

IPhoto: Using Adobe Bridge

I am presently using both iPhoto and FCPX. I only use iPhoto store the photos and images I use in albums. If I need to modify them I take them into Photoshop and then save them backin iPhoto. However, I now have about 5,000 images and feel a need to be able to sort them further and do more global commands on them (such as resize). For this, I really miss using Adobe Bridge. Is there a way to use Adobe Bridge with iPhoto?

Thank you. I am beginning to think I need to investigate exactly what and how much iPhoto really does. I didn't know it was this powerful. I will go to the link you gave me.
I think I am feeling overwhelmed with so many images because I need to find a good way to organize them via keyword (which I know iPhoto does - I just don't know how to select by keyword "yet").
I did like the capability in Bridge of selecting a lot of photos together and resizing them to all the same size in one command (via Photoshop).
I really do need a powerful photo manager so I need to understand how much iPhoto can do for me. I see I also have a lot of duplicates now so my initial idea of sorting by photo album name was not a good idea. I need to use keywords instead.
If iPhoto doesn't allow me to resize a batch of photos in one command, for the few times I need to do it, I can always export them into a folder and then do it in Photoshop because I would want to retain the photo in its original size anyway.
Now to the link you gave me . . .
