There is a way to setup com (you can find documentation in the interoperability guide, have you took a look at it?). I havent test this solution because it occured to me a litle bit complicated. But at least for simple functions there is a way to call business functions via xml and get values back. What is the name of the business function that you want to call? I have tested the xml soltion, i also used it to update the z-files (it is better to do it this way because you get a sort of validation). In order xml functionality to work you need to declare some dlls which exist in the system directory of jde. If you are interested on this solution i can give more details.
