RE: Communicating with COM objects from iSeries via Java?

COM is a Windows creation, you'll need to run your code on a windows
box. From the IBM site: "The RJCB technology uses the Java Native
Interface (JNI) framework to bridge Java code and COM code." Since
they're basically hopping out of Java and into COM via JNI you'll need
to be on a box that support COM -- and that's a windows box. 

This isn't to say it won't work, just to say your Java will have to be
on the PC, so you'll need to figure out a triggering mechanism for the
iSeries to tell the PC to fax something, and it may be simpler to do the
PC code in something that's COM-aware (c#/VB/C++/etc) in the first place
since you need to be on the PC anyway.
