How do I use a 32 Bit COM object from a 64 bit process?

Question

I Use Jacob (JAVA COM Bridge) on a 64 Bit Machine and want to load COM Objects from a 32 bit DLL. How can I do that?

Answer 1

You will need to host the 32 bit COM object in a 32bit process. So either your entire app will have to run 32bit or youll need to place the COM object in something like COM+ and use cross process calls.
