Getting Java and TWAIN to play together nicely [closed]

Answer 1

I've actually purchased the chestysoft activeX control. Been using it for about 3 years. Works great but as with all ActiveX you are restricted to IE. And this one is 32-bit only. I'm looking into a flash approach now. Since flash can capture from a camera why not from a scanner. If I remember I'll report back what I find.

Answer 2

Calling the TWAIN API from anything except C/C++ is going to be a major pain, it relies entirely on complicated C structures that you have to replicate exactly in memory. If you need only fairly basic scanning, you could use something like GitHub site to call my old free 'EZTwain Classic' DLL (google for eztw32.dll)
