xml-dev - Making COM componts from java MSXML (Was: MS XML Parser on the Server)

["Dr. Zheng Min" <zmin@iti.gov.sg>]

A few questions about making java MSXML COM aware:

1. Mike suggested using ActiveX Wizard for Java to create .IDL file. Has
anyone done it successfully? I tried it just now but a lot of method were
skipped because of non-translatible type (why is that? Does it mean those
methods can't be used in COM interface?).

2. Even worse, I can't re-compile MSXML in J++. I stuck in the first file --
com.ms.xml.dso.XMLDSO.java. The error messages are all in the same type:
        Value for argument 'parent' cannot be converted from 'int' in call
to 'Element ElementFactory.createElement(Element parent, int type, Name tag,
String text)'

The statement in XMLDSO.java is:
    e = factory.createElement(Element.ELEMENT,
XMLRowsetProvider.nameROWSET);
It doesn't look right but I don't know how MS can make *.class from it (or I
missed something?).

 Has anyone tried to recompile it and succeeded.

Thank,
Min

>On the MS platform, you can expose all your Java classes and interfaces as
COM interfaces if you use the ActiveX Wizard for Java (JAVAIDL.EXE). It'll
create an .IDL file (and  .C and .H files if you want to call the interfaces
from C/C++).
>All Java classes are exposed asl dual interfaces, derived from IDispatch,
which allows them to be called from all COM aware scripting languages
(JavaScript, VB for Automation, etc).
>
>If the Java classes are registered with Javareg (using the CLSIDs from the
generated .IDL file) on the server, you can use the package name rather than
a CLSID.
>To create a Java object, you might try prepending 'java:' on the package
name.
> Server.CreateObject("java:com.ms.xml.om.Document")
