Java-COM integration with JACOB using XML wrappers
نویسنده
چکیده
ManyWindows-based legacy applications can be programmatically accessed using COM interfaces. However, calling COM components from Java is not straightforward. This report compares four open source Java-COM integration packages. A technique for typesafe Java-COM integration is presented. The technique is based on typesafe COM interface wrappers using jcom, java2com and JACOB libraries. Examples with Microsoft Office applications are presented. XML wrapper and code generator can be bundled with future JACOB releases as an alternative to Jacobgen wrapper generator.

JXP4BIGI: a generalized, Java XML-based approach for biological information gathering and integration
MOTIVATION In the post-genomic era, biologists interested in systems biology often need to import data from public databases and construct their own system-specific or subject-oriented databases to support their complex analysis and knowledge discovery. To facilitate the analysis and data processing, customized and centralized databases are often created by extracting and integrating heterogene...

متن کاملA Semantic Approach to XML-based Data Integration
The paper describes a prototype tool, named DIXSE, which supports the integration of XML Document Type Definitions (DTDs) into a common conceptual schema. The mapping from each individual DTD into the common schema is used to automatically generate wrappers for XML documents, which conform to a given DTD. These wrappers are used to populate the common conceptual schema thereby achieving data in...

In this paper we present the World-Wide WebWrapper Factory (W4F), a Java toolkit to generate wrappers for Web data sources. Some key features of W4F are an expressive language to extract information from HTML pages in a structured way, a mapping to export it as XML documents and some visual tools to assist the user during wrapper creation. Moreover, the entire description of wrappers is fully d...

The paper presents ”Any Input XML Output” (AIXO), a general and flexible software architecture for wrappers. The architecture has been designed to present data sources as collections of XML documents. The use of XSLT as extraction language permits extensive reuse of standards, tools and knowledge. A prototype developed in Java has been effectively proven in several case studies. The tool has al...
