The PC that will actually makes the calls to the JDE will need jde client installed. This applies when calling function via xml as well. If your web server gets the data from jde and then sends them to the clients, then i suppose either you will need to install jde client on this web server (to make direct calls) or you can have a separate dcom server with jdeclient on it. Then you have to call com from the web server via dcom and you may need to make some wrapper objects around your com objects. Any way this second solution is a little bit complicated. I would propose, you install a pc with jdeclient on it and try to configure com on this pc and try to make your function to work. Then you can go one step further with calling via web server.
