The major Java-to-COM features of ComfyJ are:
- Embedding any OLE/OCX/ActiveX controls into a Swing application. ComfyJ provides a special OleContainer class allowing you to:
- Embed various OLE/OCX/ActiveX components.
- Perform static drawing of an embedded component.
- Save/Load an embedded OleObject to/from a file in a special binary format.
- Create an embedded object using ProgID, CLSID, or from a file.
- Do various kinds of in-place activation, such as SHOW, INPLACEACTIVE etc.

- Automation support enabling you to:
- Invoke any method of a COM object using dynamic method invocation technique.
- Get any property of a COM object, including indexed and named ones.
- Set COM object properties.
- Support for COM events. You can create a Java COM event handler and connect it to a COM object using a standard (findConnectionPoint/advise) COM technique.
- Code Generation application. Using this application, you can generate Java COM wrappers for custom COM objects. Generated classes can be compiled and packed to a JAR file if necessary.
- Wrappers for all standard COM interfaces, such as IUnknown, IDispatch, etc.
- Support for standard COM types such as Variant, SafeArray (single and multi-dimensional arrays), BStr etc.
- DCOM support. ComfyJ allows creating COM object on a remote server.
The major of COM-to-Java features of ComfyJ are:
