ActiveX is a Microsoft driven technology based around COM ( ComponentObjectModel ), a binary object standard. It evolved from OLE which was perceived as being heavyweight and hard to learn. ActiveX provides standard interfaces that allow components to be embedded in web pages or applications, although the technology is not limited to graphical components. ActiveX components expose properties and methods and can raise events. ActiveX as a distnct technology has recently been replaced by DNA (Dynamic Network Architecture).


I am not sure about everyone here, but ActiveX does not seem to be a 100% Pure Java thingy, eh? And maybe the guys at the Security sections will have a few problems impleenting this...

We should not use ActiveX!

We did not plan to use ActiveX :) We just included it in the glossary because it's a competing technology to JavaBeans.
