TestSight® is a COM (Component Object Model) application which runs as a client on Windows systems. Java™ does not have a COM interface built in.
In order to utilize the tremendous power and flexibility of COM objects in a Java application, Linar® Ltd has developed a utility called J-Integra. J-Integra™ is a COM to Java bridging tool. Using J-Integra, you can access ActiveX® Components as though they were Java Objects.
J-Integra's pure Java runtime talks to COM components using Distributed COM (DCOM) layered over Remote Procedure Calls (RPC), which are themselves layered on TCP/IP.
So at the lowest level J-Integra uses the totally standard Java networking classes.
To the Java programmer, J-Integra makes COM components look just like Java objects, presenting COM properties, methods and events as Java properties, methods and events.
The J-Integra bridge is bi-directional. COM developers can make callbacks into Java objects. J-Integra dynamically remote-enables any Java object, making all of its public methods and member variables accessible from COM.
TestSight has been thoroughly tested using the COM to Java utility.
