Hi Jeff,

Downloaded a trial version, and this seems to do the trick. 

	Thanks,
	John

Hi John,

There are a few products that act as Java/COM bridges.  One that I've used
is JIntegra.  Given a COM server, it generates Java classes that provide
access (via DCOM) to all the server's functionality.  

I know that there are also other products available.

Hope this helps.

	Hi,

I am an old MS COM programmer new to the Java world, and happy to be here
;-)

My question is this: we need to create a Java application that accesses a
number of middle tier COM components. What is the least painful way of doing
this? (Hoping that there is a direct way to instantiate and use COM
components from Java..)

		thanks,
		John
