IDispatch

public IDispatch(java.lang.String progid)

This class is a wrapper for COM's IDispatch It can be used in javascript, through a predefined javascript object, COMProxy. COMProxy is a predefined instance of com.ibm.di.automation.IDispatch usage : system.createCOMInstance(String progID) calls new IDispatch(progID)
