How do you reference a COM object in JSP?
Note that there's a separate forum here that deals with Java and JSP.
Under normal circumstances, you don't access COM objects in JSP because in doing so, you violate the "write once run anywhere" principle. This is so because COM is restricted to the Windows environment and Java can run in many environments. You are better off having JSP accessing servlets and beans.
But I understand that the above advice applies to an ideal world. I would look to see if the Runtime object can run COM objects
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/index.html (click on Runtime on the left frame) Look at Runtime.exec().
