Note

The applet in this sample uses a COM component. COM components can access any system resource. To prevent this from being a major security problem, typically, the browser allows only trusted Java .CLASS files to access COM objects.

To facilitate development of Java applets that use COM, Microsoft® Developer Studio relaxes this restriction when the browser is run from within Developer Studio. This page will not be able to access the COM resources it needs to run, unless it is run from Microsoft Developer Studio.

To run this applet from Microsoft Developer Studio:

See the readme for information on setup, purpose, errors, and so forth.

This project is an example of Java calling COM. Like javabeep, it uses services from a simple Automation server. In the sample, you registered the automation server comserver.dll. You also created a Java description of this server using the Java Type Library Wizard.

Often, the installation program for the server will take care of entering it in the registry. However, you will have to create the Java description, using the Java Type Library Wizard.
