How to call Java component from PowerBuilder.

[anujkumar]

Can anyone please tell me how can I call a Java component,
that is deployed on EAServer6.2 using an EAR file, from a
Powerbuilder client that is running on the same EAServer
instance. I can think of some options but dont really know
how and whether they will work or not.

1) Through CORBA. We make a corba call from Powerbuilder to
Java. Has anyone done it before?

2) Through RMI-IIOP. Again has anyone done it before?

3) Is there any other way as well that I can explore?

Anuj;

AFAIK you should be able to use the TransactionServer object ...
Example:
transactionserver.CreateInstance (objectvariable {, classname } )

Anuj,

You do it in the same way that one PB component would call another in
EAServer. It's really no different.

(1) Generate a PB proxy for the component you will call (e.g. MyPkg_MyComp)

(2) Declare a variable using the proxy class:

MyPkg_MyComp mc

(3) Use the TransactionServer object to get an instance to call:

ts.CreateInstance(mc, "MyPkg/MyComp")

(4) Call methods on 'mc'.
