[dba-VB] Unusual VB Request

Hi Gustav,

 

Yes, VB runtime has been tested and is ok.

I'm at the point of testing a solution but I'm just being cautious as I
don't understand what is going on here I guess.

How does Java call a COM lib? Does it 'Import' it? What if 2 libs have
the same name, what am I going to break?

 

I'll let you know what happens.

 

Cheers

 

michael

Hi Michael

But is VB runtime allowed? Or you could use FreeBasic or PowerBasic
(Stuart may advice on this).
If so, why not try? Write a dummy where getOSUserName(address, host)
always returns some username for a test.

Hi Guys,



Maybe someone can confirm or negate my thoughts on a client request I
have received?



Consider this code...

import psdi.util.AXWin32Util;



Call to DLL:



        if (this.debug) {

          System.out.println("Checking for user at ip " + address + " on
" + host);

        }

        OSUsername = AXWin32Util.getOSUserName(address, host).trim();




Username is one value not delimeted list




        if ((OSUsername != null) && (OSUsername.length() > 0)) {

          if (this.debug) {

            System.out.println("Found user " + OSUsername + " on " +
host);

          }

          OSUsername = OSUsername.toUpperCase();



I think the above is Java?



My client wants me to write a dll to replace the
AXWin32Util.getOSUserName(address, host) method call.



I don't have access to either the original source (dll) or the source to
the calling app. Just the text above.

If I create a COM dll called psdi.util.AXWin32Util.dll with a
getOSUserName method and register it on the target server what are the
chances it will work?

I suspect the answer is zero.



Dotnet is not allowed. No installation is allowed. The server is Win
2003 sp2.



Ideas anyone?



Cheers



Michael
