Prerequisites

Review the following assumptions and software requirements before you install the connector for COM.

Assumptions and third-party dependencies

The connector uses COMProxy, an interface tool that allows Java programs to communicate with ActiveX objects. This tool generates the Java proxy objects that the connector requires to invoke COM components. The properties, structures, and methods of a COM component are typically defined in a type library file (.tlb, .dll, .ole, .olb, or .exe). Using the Java Native Interface and COM technology, COMProxy allows a COM component to be treated just like a Java object.

Platform requirements

The connector runs on the following platforms:
