Re: newbie getting started

If you've downloaded the latest release from sourceforge you might try
reading this document:

jawintypebrowser.html

Section 4.3 talks about code generation. Once you have the java code
generated compile it. Create instances of the java classes that match the
interfaces you want to use from the library. Calling the java methods that
were generated should call the native methods in the library. Generally, the
jawintypebrowser only works for COM interfaces. It sounds like this is what
your DLL contains since the typebrowser is showing you interfaces...

Subject: [JAWIN] newbie getting started

Hello All;

I've been reading the documentation and I really am having a hard time
getting a handle on how to start useing jawin.  I have a dll I'm trying to
access.  It interfaces with a run time database that was written by
signature.net.  No one there has yet to use this dll with Java.  I have
run the TypeBrowser on the dll and I can see the commands for the dll but
I just don't understand how to use them with jawin.  I'm not sure how to
generate the stubs or where the generated stubs go.  I realize these are
basic questions and if you could just direct me to a comprehensive article
or book that would be great.  Thanks for your time.
