Making COM interface calls with Studio?

[davin]

Is there a straightforward way to make calls to an application with a COM interface with studio? I figure that making calls to java code which then makes COM calls would be a way to do it, but I'm not a java programmer. Is there an easier way to do this with studio or do I need to finally give in and break out the unopened java book that's been on my bookshelf for years?

Thanks, and kudos to Sage for finally releasing studio! woot!

One way is this: http://danadler.com/jacob/

I was using this to communicate with J River Media Center. This ultimately didn't work out b/c JRMC is an out of process EXE COM server, which, for reasons that get a bit beyond my level of COM knowledge, is problematic, due to the fact that SageTV is a multithreaded Java client.

There are no built-in COM interfaces in the SageTV API, you'll have to do somthing in Java.

Thanks, stanger. I'll crack open that java book.
