JavaTLB Command-Line Tool

  • Article

JavaTLB is a component of Visual J++ 5.0. JavaTLB is a command-line application that generates class files for a COM object. Methods that contain data types that cannot be accurately and safely represented in Java are not converted.

Unlike the Java Type Library Wizard, JavaTLB does not generate a summary file containing the Java type library information.

To generate Java class files for a single COM object, from the command prompt run:

javatlb filename

where filenameis the name of the file that contains the type library. This file may have any of the following file name extensions: .tlb, .olb, .ocx, .dll, or .exe.

To generate Java class files for multiple COM objects, from the command prompt run:

**javatlb @**TextFile

where TextFile is the name of a text file that contains a list of the files containing the COM object's type libraries.

Note

In Visual J++ 6.0, the JavaTLB command-line tool is replaced by the JActiveX tool. For more information, see the Visual J++ 6.0 documentation.
