It is possible to connect Sage with Java via Sage Data Objects, and a Java-COM bridge "EZ-JCom". You will need to download the SageDataObjects library from http://www.sagedataobjects.com and the SageForJava Library from http://www.sagedataobjects.com/javasdo/sageforjava.zip

After downloading and installing the SageDataObjects library, and unzipping the SageForJava Library, you will need to select the version of Sage you want to connect to, for example, version 14, Copy the File, JSDOENG140.DLL from the SDOENG140Java Folder., and place it in your WindowsSystem32 Folder.
