Hi everyone, 

as the title says, I'd like to know if there's a way to create a Powerbuilder registrable .dll with exposed classes and methods and being able to reuse them
in a Java environment.

We would use the .dll to generate PDFs through powerbuilder's PDFExport function.

Thank you in advance,

Mattia Matiz

I think you would have to write a C++ DLL with functions that are callable from Java and use PBNI functionality to call PB from C++.

PowerBuilder runtime DLLs are designed to be run in a client app not in a server app.  So even if you somehow do accomplish this, it is not going to be scalable and fault tolerant.  Therefore I don't recommend you do this.  However, if the Java app is a client desktop app then this would not have such problem/risk.
