Hello,

My question concerns calling JAVA from VFP. Our comany has
applications in many languages. We have applications in Oracle and
Visual Foxpro as well as Web applications in JAVA. In our VFP
applications we take advantage of Windows automation to control
Outlook, Word and Excel. We are currently exploring alternate ways to
Send and retrieve email information and attachments using Foxpro.
We have a JAVA email "procedure" (not sure what they are called in
JAVA) that can retrieve the body text and attachments from email as
well as send Emails.

I don't have a good undertanding of JAVA so I may be talking apples
and Oranges here but that being Said.

Does anyone know how to call the Java "procedure" from Foxpro?

Can this be done the same way you would call an ORACLE stored
procedure using ODBC?

Ernie -
there are good libraries that work with vfp already that can handle email
processing and parsing.

BUT ? lets assume for the moment that your Java Camp assumes that their
'codebase' is re-usable.
You Can TRY it from VFP, provided the 'proper' java run times are installed
..
and the 'thing' written in java is 'encapsulate-able' from VFP.

Specifically - for this question ->
but ?
look at the concept of calling a non-vfp class library ...
the instantiation is similar, if not the same .

hope others will chime in and give you some more serious answers ..
warmest regards [Bill]
