Can you call COM components from server side javas

问题:

Is it possible (using one of the server side implementations of javascript .. see http://www.nakedjavascript.com/getting-started-55) to instantiate a COM object and invoke methods on it?

回答1:

There is node-win32ole (npm install win32ole).

回答2:

That depends on which server-side implementation you’re using. When using ASP/JS (or any other framework using Microsoft’s Windows Scripting engine), that’s not a problem using the ActiveXObject constructor.
When using JSDB, you can use the ActiveX constructor.

Node.js doesn’t really work on Windows, only thru Cygwin, so ActiveX probably won’t be supported.

I have no idea how easy or difficult it would be to access COM objects from SpiderMonkey, V8 or SquirrelFish directly. They have C/C++ interfaces — and are open source, so if you know your way in the language, you could probably add it.
