(XYMessenger - ) Bridge Between Java And Windows - by Xiangyang Liu 刘向阳

Make your windows programs communicate with java programs easily

Introduction

I have included some code that can make your windows programs and your java programs communicate with each other easily. The emphasis is on the word easily, because there could be a lot of different ways to do the same thing. On the windows side, I wrote an ActiveX control called XYMessenger. On the java side, I wrote a java class also named XYMessenger.

These two components have almost identical methods and they can send each other messages of arbitrary size. If the word XYMessenger sounds familiar to you that is because I previously posted an article on CodeProject about a client-server development tool package I wrote.

The package is now free (for commercial or non-commercial use) but the source code is not provided to the public at this time.

The code provided here are simplified versions of the key components in that package. You can use and modify the code anyway you wish if you acknowledge in your work that the original idea is from me.
