Which ActiveX bridge actually works????

Hi all,
i have really simple question...I have been looking for the proper ActiveX bridge really long time....I just wana to integrate ActiveX display component into the JAVA SWING API....Most suitable for this purpose seems to be IBM Bridge2Java...But actually it is not working, this bridge still crashes on this exception...
com.ibm.bridge2java.ComException: Bad return code from Invoke().
Please does anyone have any experiences with the Bridge2Java product or does anyone know any other better ActiveX bridges ????????

Sun's ActiveX Bridge. Basically, the host is not seeing my bean properties. I have standard getters and setters. This is from an IDL from a C++ client and I need my java code to produce an equivalent property access.
Please help. I'm really stuck on this.

Actual work center

Hi Experts,
I am creating a report based on IW47 into BI.
I have used a view on AFRU and AUFK and brought data in BI . In IW47 there are two fields like plan work center and actual work center.
In AUFK i am getting the maintainence work cneter or the plan work cneter values but i am unable to find where i can get the actual work center values for the order confirmations.
Can any one shed more information on this one.
Thanks

Hi Dennis,
Thanks for the reply.it is not exactly correct.
I have found the actual work center by debugging the back code of iw47. To get actual work center in IW47 we need to get ARBID object id from AFRU table using this join ARBID to OBJID of CRHD table and get ARBPL which is the actual work center of the confirmation.
To get Plan work Center we need to get the ARBID from AFVC table for which need to get AUFPL which is got from AFKO table using AUFNR of the corresponding confirmation. So withe ARBID from AFVC again join to OBJID of CRHD table and get ARBPL which is the plan work center.
And i am closing this thread with the solution for it may be helpful for others
Thanks

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.

How do I get my bridge web gallery to actually work in my photoshop website

Hi
Can anyone explain to me in simple english (please - as I'm just a learner) how I get my web gallery (created in bridge) to work with my photoshop website.
This is what I have done so far:-
(1) I've created my root folder called 'test'. It has 3 subfolders called:-
- 'page1' (which is my homepage created as said below)
- 'page2-gallery' (where I want my bridge web gallery to be)
- 'page3-other' (for another page link - not important here).
(2) I have also created a simple website in photoshop (my homepage said above), using the slice tool and have saved it by saveforweb. So I now have my html website file and which works when tested online. One of the slice segments is for my 'gallery' icon on the homepage which, when clicked, should go directly to my bridge web gallery created.
(3) I have also created a web gallery in bridge and I saved it applying the 'savelocation' as being in page2 of my root folder. But when I checked it online the 'gallery' icon on my homepage does nothing. I then tried saving the gallery to my root folder instead (i.e. not in the page2 of my root folder) but with zero results.
(4) I've then dragged the root folder's html file (my website's homepage) into dreamweaver, clicked the 'gallery' icon and tried to apply the page2 of my root folder file to the properties inspector's link box (bottom of dreamweaver workspace) - but this wouldn't work either.
I know that I must be close to solving this riddle and so can anyone help me please.

Which printers actually work on Macbook 10.4.11, recommendations.

Can anyone recommend a printer model that will definately work on a macbook 10.4.11, have had massive problems with a hp printer (deskjet f4180) which was supposed to be compatible according to HP. Does anyone have a personal recommendation of a printer, which in their own experience actually works with the latest tiger software 10.4.11, and also on a macbook intel - ! Many thanks.

ALthough I strongly recommend at least 1 GB of RAM for iPhoto - it (according to the specs) will run with 512 MB but you will be much happier with more RAM - and you should always have a min of 10 GB of hard drive space available for general operation of your Mac

Can anyone recommend a printer which will actually work with mac 10.4.11 ?

Hi all! I have had problems getting a printer which will actually work with my macbook 10.4.11. I've tried HP deskjet f4180 (supposed to be compatible) and various lexmarks (no compatible software). Apple and hp, and my local curry's have not been able to assure me which printer will DEFINATELY work. I just wanted to hear from other Mac users with 10.4.11, if they had actually been able to find a printer which works properly. Would be greatful for any recommendations of printer's which are actually compatible with the updated tiger 10.4.11
Many thanks.
Crazynow!!

I read your previous posts, but had just upgraded to 10.4.11 & hadn't check my printers. All 3 of these work: Apple laserwriter 360, Brother HL 1440, and Brother MFC 7820N. I print to all of these wirelessly via airport.

Message app not loading but every other bridge app works fine

i have a Torch 9800 (up to date) and a Playbook (up to date). All my bridge apps work except for messages, which is probably the most important app. When i launch the messages app it just showing the loading circle hour glass thing and never actually displays my messages. New emails come in and i can open them but none of my previous emails appear and the loading circle hour glass thing keeps going. I've tried reinstalling bridge and i've tried pairing the device again over bluetooth, any other ideas? I know i could just factory reset the playbook but i'll loose all my data.

Hello rudeboouy,
I have a few questions:
What version of the BlackBerry Bridge do you have installed? (BlackBerry Bridge 1.0.0.83)
How long have you allowed it to hour glass?
Does an error message display?
Thank you.

Best modem/router for AEBS that actually works?!

Hi,
I have had so many problems with my AEBS it's unbelievable! If someone could suggest a modem/router that works well with the AEBS so i can set up my wireless network that would be great! So far i have tried the netgear DM111P modem & the d-link 320T modem. Both do not seem to work, i can get onto the internet connecting directly to each of the modems but when i comes to connecting to the internet through the AEBS with the modem attached there is nothing. But i can connect one computer if the AEBS is in bridge mode, which is pointless as i need to share the connection. So any suggestions to help me or on a modem/router which will actually work, i would appreciate it a lot!
Many thanks!

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?
Cheers

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.

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:
public static void marshal(es.mityc.facturae31.Facturae paramFacturae, String paramString)
    try
      logger.info("Loading context es.mityc.facturae31");
      JAXBContext localJAXBContext = JAXBContext.newInstance("es.mityc.facturae31");

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...)

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.

How to run ActiveX bridge packager without VC++

Hello everybody,
The ActiveX Bridge Developer Gude states that I have to
install Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 with SP3 to run the ActiveX packager.
Is there a way to run the packager without installing MS VC++ on my computer?
What components from VC++ are actually required?
May be they can be found in other software?
Thank you to anyone who give me a hint.

I found the link below while trying to determing the same thing, but I have not actually attempted to get it working yet.

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).

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
