All exceptions thrown in Java are encapsulated and re-thrown as a COM error
through the ISupportErrorInfo interface and the EXCEPINFO structure of IDispatch::Invoke();
the Err object in Visual Basic and VBScript. Because there are no error numbers
associated with Java exceptions, whenever a Java exception is thrown, the
entire stack trace is stored in the error description text and the error number
assigned is 0x6003.
In Visual Basic or VBScript, you need to use the Err.Number and Err.Description
fields to determine the actual Java error. Non-Java errors are thrown as
you would expect via the IDispatch interface; for example, if a method cannot
be found, then error 438 "Object doesn't support this property or method" is
thrown.
