Tendering for an Java ActiveX-Container

To offer ActiveX-Support in Jabaco it is necessary to create an ActiveX-Container-Control. This control should be the base for handling ActiveX in Jabaco. I'll pay 300 USD for a control that solves the ActiveX-problem and could be published exclusive under the Jabaco-License within the open source Jabaco-Framework.

This offer is just an experiment. I would like to know if it is possible to solve such issues in this way.

What should be done

I need a generic solution to work with ActiveX in a pure Java-Software. It should be run standalone without any other compilers or other commercial tools). There are two possible solutions to solve this issue (let me know if you see another one):

The first possible solution:

Create a Java-Control that could be used in this way:

Java source code

class Test {
public static void main(String args[])
JFrame myFrame = new JFrame();
ActiveXContainer myContainer = new ActiveXContainer('CLSID OR CLASSNAME');
myContainer.addActionListener(new ComActionListener() { public void actionPerformed(ComActionEvent e) {} }); 
myFrame.add(myContainer);
Object ret = myContainer.invoke('method', ParamList);
}
}


A very good base for starting such a control is http://java.sys-con.com/node/48177 (source at sf).

Second possible solution:

A tool that automatically generates Java wrapper classes for an ActiveX control.

Send me a private message if you would like to start the job or if you have any questions. I'll remove this posting in few weeks or if someone send me a good solution.
