COM object

Hi,
I want to make a COM object that opens a URL. This COM object is going
to be called by a Java application.
Does anyone have an example or a link to some useful tutorials here. I
have experience programming in Java but not COM.

Any help would be appreciated

BR
Mike

Why? I don't mean 'why do you want to open a URL?',
but 'why do you want to use an X-plat language to launch a
win specific* object, when the X-plat language can do the work
in a way that is compatible with all platforms?'.

See Mustang (new Desktop API), the JWS API has had classes
to get a browser since Java 1.5 (possibly earlier), or for a pre 1.6,
non-JWS app., there is always BrowserLauncher2.

* My small amount of googling suggests COM objects run on
Windows only. If that is wrong, ignore everything in the first
paragraph of my reply (if you wish).
