Java Beanse can be used by other?

can the java bean be used in other language like
visual basic oc VC++
OF yes how
if no, i know the reason i think


Thanks

The answer is "Yes". Using the Packager with jdk 1.2.2(that is the platform
I have experience with) you can create an "ActiveX" component out of a JavaBean
to use in VB, VC++. It really isn't a completely new "ActiveX" component,
the program creates a "wrapper" for the bean which exposes the beans properties,
methods and events much like an normal "ActiveX" component.

Some people have experienced problems using this method and if you check
out java.sun.com and search on ActiveX it should pop up a bunch of answers
for you. There is also a page on using the Packager on the site under /beans
I believe.

Anyway, I hope this helped a little bit.
