Referencing a DLL from JSP

I'm trying to call a method called "ValidPassword(String, String, String)"
that acceptes 3 string arguments in a DLL that was created in VB.

Does anybody know how to reference the DLL object and method(s) from JSP?

Thanks,
H. Wilson

To accomplish this, you will need to create a DLL wrapper in 'C' using JNI
(Java Native Interface). Then, you would write a simple JavaBean to call
that DLL; sounds arduous but actually it's fairly simple and well documented.

Thanks for the response. I'll study up on that.
