Subject:[jna-users] vb dll exporting no useful methods (COM bridge needed?)Actions...

Dear all,

I have a VB dll whose methods are informally described in a piece of paper, has no decent documentation, and I have to use correctly for a imensely critical application due for deployment in a few weeks for a sizeable company.

I'm a Linux guy, never touched VB, COM or .Net. I've searched archives, mailing-lists and tried some examples. Everything goes fine until the moment where I get an "UnsatisfiedLinkError".

Walking through the binary file I can see that the described methods are there (their names' strings, at least), but DependencyWalker can only read 4 exported functions/procedures (DllCanUnloadNow, DllGetClassObject, DllRegisterServer and DllUnregisterServer).

Does this mean I need a Java - COM bridge and cannot use JNA? How should I proceed?

Thanks in advance.

-- Best regards,

Vasco Figueira
