Is it posible to make connection to Mirosoft ActiveX or Com-objects, from Java.

In Visual Basic you would do somethink like:

Create a MPCoder object.

Dim Coder As MPCoder

Set Coder = New MPCoder

Load a predefined configuration.

Coder.Load ("C:file_name.xml")

How to go when using Java ??

see the Jacob project
http://danadler.com/jacob

Ive used this bridge to call Word and Excel from Java code.

eg -

import com.jacob.com.*;
import com.jacob.activeX.*;

ActiveXComponent wo = new ActiveXComponent("Word.Application");

Object wrdo = wo.getObject();

try {

Dispatch.put(wrdo, "Visible", new Variant(true));

Object documents = wo.getProperty("Documents").toDispatch();

Object docs = Dispatch.call(documents, "Open", filetoopen).toDispatch();

}
