Accessing vboxjxpcom at Windows host

[Skalden]

Hey there,

I'm trying to get the vboxjxpcom.jar running under Windows. In Linux it works fine. You have your install dir, where the libcboxjycom.so is, you just add the install-dir to the vm-parameters and it works fine. But under windows there is no such a thing. no *.exe or anythang that can be used as executable. Therefore i can't get it running in windows.

Kind regards

That is because it can only be used under Linux.
Under Windows you have in theory two choices: WebServices or MSCOM bindings.
In practice, you have only one: WebServices; MSCOM bindings are broken at the moment and simply don't work.

Do they work under Linux, too?

WebServices yes, MSCOM no.
XPCOM & MSCOM use native libraries, so they are platform dependent: MSCOM on Windows, XPCOM on the others.
WebServices is platform independant and requires using vboxwebsrv. All this is describe in the SDK PDF.
