Subject: Re: Control browsers from your Java application


I can think of a bunch of things you could try, but nothing that I would
want to do.

http://java.sun.com/products/hotjava/ would be a good example, the problem
(other than the fact that it's being end of life'd) would be for active x
controls and plug-ins, which I don't imagine would work if the client will
be using it to view the web in general. This is a good example because that
kind of thing will always pop up. Still if you are just using it for your
own application rather than to work as a general browser as well, then that
may be worth looking into.

If you just use an applet and try to control the browser that way it won't
work on IE mac because the javascript communication between components and
appets and the browser doesn't work.

If you try something like a swing interface you have the mammoth J2 download
and no pre osx mac runtime.

I can think of some other avenues to try, also, but nothing any better than
these. None of which I'd really like.
