Embedded object and java - aaarrggghhh!

Hi alldoes anybody have any handy pointers on how to retrieve an embedded document via java, i have been able to do it with attached files ok, i just cant seem to work out the trick for embedded files.

there seems to be ‘activate’ and ‘getObject’ method, both of which are supposed to return a ole handle (or not!, according to the doco), providing the handle is valid, what the heck do i do with it next? i notice that vbscript/lotus script has methods for doing stuff with an ole handle.

any ideas most appreciated!.

thanks in advance

cheers

The target object would also need a Java hook, wouldn’t it? There’d need to be at least a Java API wrapper around the OLE methods, and that would have to be part of the embed (like an OCX would be).
