Anyone know about ActiveX in Java?

S C A

Dear All:
I'm not sure if this is even possible but does anyone know about using
ActiveX controls (a Microsoft-specific technology) in Java? I am having a
heck of a time finding some similar functionality in Java provided by some
controls (ActiveX) and I was wondering if I can manipulate them using Java?

Thanks in advance,
Carl

Are you trying to build an ActiveX container in Java? What is the
functionality you are looking for?

Jared:
Thanks for the response. Yes, I am trying to use the ActiveX control via
Java. The problem is that while I can use it and it works quite well in
Visual Basic (it's a TAPI wrapper for answering, making calls on Dialogic
boards), I can't figure out how to use it (the Dialogic telephony board) via
Java. I do know that Dialogic has a C API and wonder if that will be my only
or best avenue?

Thanks for your help,
Carl
P.S. This is due to the fact that I am thinking learning Java but don't want
to miss out on my ability to program the board.

AcitveX components obviously depend on the operating system and are
not run by the VM. Java is not designed to do this. You may have a
couple options:

1. Convert the Java applet to a servlet and use Internet Explorer as
your servlet container. You can then POST data to the activeX control
or to the servlet. You can even embed the ActiveX control in a JSP
page if you wish.

2. Write a container for the ActiveX control as a win32 executable or
dll and invoke it from java. You can either exec() it, or use the
Java Native Interface (JNI) to wrap calls to a dll.

Both of these are hacks and you should use MFC, VB, or something
better suited for interfacing with ActiveX. Microsoft may provide a
way to do this with their VM, but I am unfamiliar with anything
outside Sun's standards in this respect.

Problems with javabeans activex bridge!

by: Mattt | last post by:

Hi, I've run into a rather odd problem. get Methods seem to return values from the wrong methods! For example, let's pretend my activex control stores values about a person. getName would return their age, while getAge might return null! Something is also going wrong with my method that accepts input and returns a value (okay, it is a money conversion program!)... it is returning null! They are consistently returning the same, wrong...

application that self-installs over the internet (with embedded ActiveX control)

by: Euan Crawford | last post by:

Can I do this? Is it even a good idea? I need to build an application that will self-install over the internet. The restriction is that the application uses a 3rd party ActiveX control. However I don't want to write any new COM code. As far as I can see my options are; - no-touch install windows app (with embedded control) - .NET User control (with embedded control)

Waiting for ActiveX object to have initialized

Hello, I need to dynamically load an activex object because what object to load is based on certain conditions. Also I need to wait for the object to have initialized before moving on.

Current Directory and ActiveX control

This file is going out to the "Current Directory" which is the Windows Desktop. I realize there is no concept of the "current directory" in Java (such as can be accessed by chdir), but is there ANY...
