OLE DB like connections in Java

[tbrowne]

I'm new to Java and I'd like to know if there is a way to make a "DSNless" or "Universal" connection from a Java application. I know Java supports ODBC connections; however, I'm looking for a way to connect to a datafile similar to an "OLE DB" connection used on the Windows platform. Just point me in the right direction!

Thanks!

I'm not very knowledgable but java's JDBC is very flexible. I'd look at the Sun pages on that before trying complex solutions.

Here is a link to a free Java-COM bridge they may be of use to you. I have not had time to try it yet, but it appears to offer they same kind of access to ADO that you are looking for. Good luck.
