The JavaBeans Bridge for ActiveX

JavaBeans architecture provides open-door migration from current ActiveX-based solutions into products meeting the 100% Pure Java certification standards with the JavaBeans architecture Bridge for ActiveX. The Bridge allows any JavaBeans component to be hosted by any legacy COM/OLE/ActiveX container. Thus, component developers can safely construct and deploy platform-independent JavaBeans components in custom solutions developed in Visual Basic, or commercial applications such as Microsoft Office and Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Visit the JavaBeans Bridge for ActiveX software pages for download instructions.
