Java -> Native OLE Calls

I would like make a server-side java app execute local OLE calls like :

Set objImpApp = CreateObject("CognosImpromptu.Application")
objImpApp.Visible 1
objImpApp.OpenCatalog strCatalogName, strUserCalss,"User","username","password"
Set objImpRep = objImpApp.OpenReport(strReportFileName,strPromptVal)
set pdfrep=objImpRep.publishpdf
pdfrep.publish
objImpRep.CloseReport
objImpApp.CloseCatalog
objImpApp.Close

The goal is to run a local app, which will produce a report, and then somehow send the PDF file down to the user. I'll settle for making it produce the report first.

I've never really dabbled with Java much, so any notes welcome.

PS. I have a .tlb file for my application I want to call (not sure how I use it tho).
