How to control browser from java program?

I want to retrieve the url currently loaded in my default browser. How to achieve this task using java program? I dont know how to access browser using java.

Actually Desktop.open only works for downloaded pages.
Instead you can use this to get the browser to download the page and display it.
Desktop.getDesktop().browse(URI.create("http://www.google.co.uk"));
First of all thanks for your reply Mr Peter__Lawrey.
I want to just retrieve the urls loaded in the default webbrowser, not the content of the url or the task of opening the default browser with the specific url.

[HELP] How to invoke BPEL from JAVA program via calling WSDL?

Dear all,
Customer want to invoke BPEL process in their Java program by calling BPEL WSDL, but not successfully.
Does BPEL support this calling way? If so, would pls give a sample?
BTW, they do not want to use API of OraBPEL.jar.
Thanks in advance.

Krishna, Not sure what you mean by 'normal' web service....I mean, is BPEL service not normal, is it not as per WS standards. It would be interesting if you could shed some light on that.
On the question of calling BPEL, I thought there were two methods - one is using the BPEL PM API, which uses the locator class to get hold of BPEL PM instance and then call a deployed bpel service
The other way is to develop a web service proxy using JDeveloper. Its a very simple process. Once you do that, you can call the proxy from Java.

Close parent window of Mozilla browser from Java

Hi All,
I want to open a URL in a controlled browser from java stand alone application. I was able to do this in Netscape of UNIX OS. The method followed is given below.
1. Launch a temporary HTML file which contains Javascript (to launch the URL in a controlled window). This is done using --- Runtime.getRuntime().exec() method.
2. Close the parent HTML file on 'onLoad' using Javascript. (self.close).
[ I tried window.close() & top.close() also.]
Now I need to support the same for "Mozilla" also. But mozilla just ignores the close() command of Javascript.
1. Is there any alternative way to close the parent window in Mozilla browser ?
2. Is there any way to close the parent window from java by using 'Process' class/ threads/ ??
3. Any other way???
Note : I am using the intermediate window for using Javascript. (controlling the browser properties). Since Java cannot communicate to Javascript directly, I am forced to have such an intermediate HTML file.
Thanks in advance.
surekha_Venugopal.

Some more details :
Mozilla browser will close a window using window.close() command, but only if the window is opened by the script. If not it will not close it.
Here, I am opening the window from Java application. That is why closure of the window is failing.
Trying to find a solution.

How to Call .XDO file From Java Program

Hi,
I have developed a report in using BI Publisher version 10.1.3.
I created the report and it only created XDO files. If I want to call XDO file from Java program how I can do that.
What are the APIs available to do that.
Thanks
-Ashutosh

Hi,
the JavaAPI didn't work with the xdo-Files. But you can create a proxy stub for the Web Service API of BI Publisher which uses the xdo's in the repository.

SOLVED: How To Use LDAP over SSL (no certs) from java program

Trying to connect to OID from Java program (using Grocery Store demo as a test). Want to use SSL with no server certificate. OID is configured, and ldapsearch -U 1 works.
Tried using URL with ldaps, or adding SECURITY_PROTOCOL,"ssl". In both case the error is 'simple bind failed'.
Samples on OTN say this should be possible, but then only have code for the non-ssl connection.
Posting from others with this same question don't seem to have been answered.
Message was edited by:

I have found that using ConnectionUtil.getSSLDirCtx() from Oracle will make a no-authentication SSL connection. An example in the sample code would be useful.

Even with Java APIs, There is a way to talk through SSL without bothering about certificates. It's just that you will have to write some code and make some changes in settings.
Read following to get further information on the same.
http://kiranthakkar.blogspot.com/2007/04/dummny-certificate-authentication.html
I don't know or I won't comment whether it's the right approach or not but it's definitely a work around.
Thanking You
