Hi,
 Take a look at this.

JavaTM 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition Client Access Services (J2EETM CAS)
COM Bridge 1.0 Early Access

The JavaTM 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition Client Access Services (J2EETM
CAS) COM Bridge lets Windows developers create native client applications
that access Enterprise JavaBeansTM (EJBTM) components deployed on a Java 2
Platform, Enterprise Edition application server.

The J2EE CAS COM Bridge provides a set of COM objects that let any
COM-enabled client application establish a connection to an application
server and obtain references to EJB components. The bridge will then
transparently map remote objects (accessed by means of the RMI-IIOP
protocol) to COM objects that the client can readily access using the COM
IDispatch interface.

Internally, the J2EE CAS COM Bridge applies introspection to all Java
objects returned by the server, making it very easy for client
applications to manipulate objects by value. As a consequence, there are
practically no limitations on the EJB components that can be accessed
through the bridge.

This early access release includes a "packager" tool to generate type
libraries to be used at development time, as well as an ActiveX control
that can be conveniently used in any visual development environment.

The J2EE CAS COM Bridge Early Access Release runs on Windows NT 4.0 with
Service Pack 4 (or later) and requires the Java 2TM Runtime Environment,
Standard Edition Version 1.2.2 or later to be installed. The application
server must run the Java 2TM SDK, Enterprise Edition Version 1.2.1.

Hope this helps,

Marc
