Question

I have to implement the VinPower application. They offer a Java version, a C dll and an ActiveX dll, if anyone has an idea on where I could begin, I’d appreciate it.

Answer 1

First step would be to put the VinPOWER Jar file into your lib directory, then restart the server.
(Or, you can put the file in a different directory and then add the path in CF Administrator)

Then to use it… well, here is their Java sample in CFML:

<cfset vp = createObject('java','com.pki.vp4j.VinPower') />  <cfset rc = vp.decodeVIN('JTEDP21A650046919') />  <cfif rc>     <cfoutput>#vp.getAsXML()#</cfoutput> </cfif> 

Give that a try and see what you get?
