Re: Passing Interfaces from COM to Java

Hi Maxym,
Why njawin is not incorporated into jawin? This is a different story. In
some days I will finish the code, which supports custom interfaces (derived
from IUnknown and compatible with oleautomation). In my code I try to use
existing technologies and do not invent a wheel. Now njawin is something
different than jawin. Much code gotten from jawin is useless now. The other
code I rewrote. While developing Java COM wrapper generator I have learnt
much about COM internals. For example, when I wrote the code that supports
event handling I had faced with a problem. You know that any method in
dispatched interface can be called with named parameters. It means that the
parameters in method call can have any order. But in Java Wrapper I have an
order predefined. For this case I added the code, which makes parameters in
Java Wrapper's order and while returning them back njawin restores original
parameter order. I spent much time for making njawin friendly in use by Java
Developer. Many COM specific features are hidden.
BTW, in my package you will find an example for MS IE. Some guys wrote
complex applications with MS IE, where they implemented key-mouse event
handling on HTML Document. If you interesting in embedding MS IE in java
application write to Guillaume Malignon ([email protected]). He made very
cool application with MS IE.
