Calling Visual Basic DLL from Java

Hi,

I want call DLL created using Visual Basic from JAVA.

Very Urgent

Thanks in Advance.

First of all, Ease Up.

Secondly, if you want to call a DLL, why don't you? What I mean by that is: is there a question in your post? Have you tried something that didn't work? Tell us the details.

I Assume that you have problem in JNI. Have a look at
thi spage

You're missing the .dll extension. Should be "Very Urgent.dll".

I suggest if you are in such a hurray ... you can surpass the pain/gain in learning JNI by using a ready made tool that has the necessary JNI wrappings.

The tool is JACOM - Java COM Bridge Link

It is pretty stable.

Unfortunately, the Jacob project to which Pradeep KG provided a link to, has very little documentation.

I've used Jawin in the past, which has better documentation:

Hi Suresh,

This same question has been posted several times in this Forum. I would suggest you do a search prior to making a post. Most of the times,for repeated questions, answers too are repeated or nearly the discussion follows one of previously traversed route.

See this : Search First

Type DLL and Java in the search text box and see the number of results you will get. Some of the posts in the results point to good tutorials as well.

Have a look at this earlier posts:
