DYNAMIC MAPPING OF COMPONENT INTERFACES

The dynamic mapping from an ActiveX component model to a JavaBean model is disclosed. In one embodiment, an ActiveX compatible object is created at run-time for those JavaBean components that an ActiveX client application wishes to utilize. In another embodiment, upon a call to CoGetClassObject or related methods using class identifiers, a COM-callable wrapper is generated and a mapping table containing COM dispatch identifiers is scanned to ensure the dispatch identifiers are unique. If they are not, the dispatch identifiers associated with JavaBean component interfaces are adjusted to make them unique.
