win32::ole COM server

K

Kevin Walzer

Looking at the win32::eek:le gem, I see that it is most commonly used for
automation of other applications on Windows via their COM interface. In
other words, the gem allows Ruby to act as a COM client.

Is it possible to use this gem to make Ruby (or a wrapped application)
into a COM server that can respond to client requests from other
applications? The documentation isn't clear on this, nor are the
numerous code snippets I've found. Python has this capability through
its win32 extensions, but I want to access it via Ruby.

Pointers to relevant code/projects/examples are appreciated.

I've found the old rubycom library, archived here:

Anyone have experience with it?
