Starting an ActiveX application and configuring service programs
To run an ActiveX service program such as Active Server Page (ASP) that is to use the ActiveX to the Enterprise Java™ Bean (EJB) bridge, some initial configuration (to set appropriate environment variables and to enable the ActiveX to EJB bridge to find its XJB.JAR file and the Java run time) is necessary. This configuration sets up the environment within which the ActiveX service program can run.
Before you begin
The XJB.JClassFactory must find the Java run time dynamic link library (DLL) when initializing. In a service program such as Internet Information Server you cannot specify a path for its processes independently; you must set the process paths in the system PATH variable. This limitation means that you can only have a single Java virtual machine (JVM) version available on a machine using ASP.
