RE: java COM Bridge -- JAVA400-L

JIntegra generates Java classes that you use to talk to your COM objects.
You would run a little utility (called com2java) on your windows box.
Com2Java reads the COM object .dll and generates java class files.  You take
the generated Java classes and put them on the as400 where your Java
application resides.  Thats it, your done.  Your Java application can now
talk to the COM objects.

By the way, it works both ways.  Your COM objects can talk to your Java
applications (even though the Java application is running on the as400).
Since it is 100%java, your Java application can be anywhere.

With the Jintegra project, do I have to run my program on the win 32 box, or
does it have a client server piece...  Server piece on the win2000 box, but
a client piece that can run on the as/400, So i can run my programs on the
as/400, but use the com componets, from the win2000 when needed... ie:
Retrieve status from winfax, and generate Excel and Word Documents...

Thanks, tim...
