MMF2 - Connecting a Java Component

I want to connect a Java program to MMF2 to handle some datagrid computations . What is the best way to do this? Pipe Object?

I will be sending it an array of variables and getting an array of variable back to be displayed in MMF.

An example would be I want to connect to an OpenOffice Calc Spreadsheet or an Excel Spreadsheet.

Another possible way for Excel is using OLE automation but I am unaware of a OLE object for Excel or a UNO object for Calc.

The Console Object is better than the Pipe Object. Probably best to use a temporary file for transporting data. MMF2 does support Active X. Or you could store the files as tab-delimited plaintext.

Thanks Joshtek I'll give it a try.
