How to open browser window from standalone Java Application???

Is it possible to start Internet Explorer from non-applet application?

Something like that could maybe help:
Runtime.getRuntime.exec("iexplore http://www.google.com");
but it's not platform independent + I couldn't let it work in that way. It only worked with Runtime.getRuntime.exec("c:\\windows\\....\\iexplore.exe http://www.google.com");
But it's surely not platform independent.
So the answer is in fact 'I don't know'.
And if you ask why am I writing all that then, the answer is 'I don't know' too.
And if you ask why...

Opening a new URL in an existing browser window from a Java application

I've tried one of the many codes to open a new browser window and it works, but I need something else.
Is there any way to open a new URL on the same window on a Java desktop application? (Changing the URL on the current browser window without opening a new one, I mean).

You can do that by using an add-on such as:
* NewTabURL - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl
* New Tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage
Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar.

How to open JSP session from a java application or an applet?

Hi,
My problem is a bit challenging (at least for me) and its not about JSP but it is about a web application..
I couldnt find a better place to post this question I am sorry if this is not the right place to post it..
I need to enable users log into my website by checking username and password and reading and checking the data from a usb device located in client computer.
I can read from the device thorough JNI using the third party DLL file for the device... I have no problem with that..
Since I need to make native calls I am planning to develop a java application so I let the users open the application using web start.. Once my application is running on client side after reading the device and getting login password information (assuming login information correct), How can I open a web session for the that spesific user and a web browser and let the user browse the web site on his/her own session?
I would appreciate any guidance..
Thanks..

add the values in the header using...
response.addHeader("userNmae","XXXX");use it in all ur pages like say..
if(!request.getHeader("userName")!=null && request.getParameter("userName").equlas(""))
String username=request.getParameter("userName");
}

Control browser properties from a java application while launching a browse

How to control the properties of a browser when it is launched from a java application?
I am using the command " Runtime.getRuntime().exec("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler "+url); " to launch the browser. The syntax of "exec" command is "public Process exec(String command,String[] envp) throws IOException". I would like to know whether we can give the arguments in this command to control the browser properties.
If you know any other option by which we can open a URL in a controlled browser, please share it.
Thanks in advance :).

Hi All,
I have found a solution to control browser parameters from Java applications.
1. Create an intermediate HTML file at runtime which contains Javascript to launch a browser. Pass the parameters like the URL and browser control parameters to the Javascript of this HTML file.
2. Open this HTML file and invoke the javascript while loading the file. Javascript will launch the required URL in a controlled browser.
3. Close the intermediate HTML file.
Limitation:
1. There will be a flickering of windows.
2. Applets will have permission issues with the above solution. For applets a better solution is JSobject. No need of an intermediate file here.
Hope this will be useful for someone. :-)
Cheers,

Accessing JNDI from Standalone JAVA application

Hi,
I want to access the JNDI tree from my
standalone java application. (ie I have
one weblogic server contains all my ejbs and client - swing - application which accesses that. )
Here I don't want to ship weblogic.jar
file to the client with swing application
because it is of ~ 20 MP.
Any other way to specify the INITIAL_CONTEXT_FATORY class.
My code is
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, DTEConfig.PROVIDER_URL);
But since I don't want to give the
weblogic.jar bundle to my client, how he
could manage this with out weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory
with him to get the initialContext ?
-Rajan Kumar

You can strip out the jndi related classes from the weblogic.jar which can be distributed
to the client installation. I don't think you will be violating any bea licensing
policies with this.

Opening browser window from Java Swing

Hi
I am trying to open
1) a word document on the click of a button from a Java-Swing based application running only on windows based system.
Currently the code uses 'rundll' and calls 'a.doc'
it requires that the application be installed and run only from a specific location in the windows' system.
i would like to modify the code in one of the following ways
1) open the word doc irrespective of its location and that of the executable jar which is trying to open this file
2) upload the word document to a website and direct the application to open that webpage on button click, etc
i believe that the latter may be simple but i do not have any idea about how to go about it
i would appreciate some guidance about it.

Opening browser windows from applet

I have 2 questions
1) Does anyone know, what do I have to do to force my java applet to open new browser window with specified url ?
2) Is any java class, which renders HTML files ? I'm trying to open some document in frame inside applet and I don't know if i have to write this renderer by myself.

for your second question, I dont know if there is a specific HTML class but SAXParser makes reading xml very easy and you probably should have much trouble writing a class to read html.

Can't open browser window from RoboHelp AIR app??!

We've got a RoboHelp course that we're exporting as an AIR app using the Packager and it works great. We've got an embedded flash file that needs to open a website in a browser window, but, currently it will only load the site in a new AIR window...any ideas??

I'm having this same problem also, although you gave me one option in your reply. I can't get the "Allow" button to work either. I upgraded to Adobe Reader 9.2, and then is when I noticed I couldn't bring up the websites that I usually could before. I don't really know what you mean about "Stand Alone Option," but I will try to find out. I also upgraded to Internet Explorer 8, but I'm not sure if this is when the problem started or when I went to Adobe Reader 9.2.
I used to be able to get "Allow" to work if I opened the document in IE8 and not in AR 9.2, but now that won't even work. I did email the author of a PDF document I was in today in the hopes he would have the answer, but I'm not sure if I got his email address right, so time will tell on that issue.
I have a "library" of PDF documents, so I would really like to get this problem fixed. However, I've spent at least two hours on this issue, and I really don't think it has anything to do with Windows Vista incompatibility; I'm pretty sure it has something to do with Adobe Reader, but that doesn't help much given I have emailed support and, of course, have never received an answer.
I do know there are a lot of people that are having this exact same problem, but no one has an answer to it. I've tried to do research on this, but I have a lot of "to do" tasks I need to get done every day, so it's not like I have all the time in the world to try and fix this problem.
I would appreciate hearing from you if you do ever figure this out. My email address is [email address deleted by host] should you find an answer to this very frustrating problem. Warmly, Corinne Larimore [signature deleted by host]

Opening Browser Window from Hotspot without Browser Toolbars, etc

Hi Guys
Can you help please.
I have a map with some ponds. I've made hotspots for these ponds to open separate pages with some images and info but I really don't need the page to display the toolbars and favorites, etc. I have gone into behaviors and set them to open the browser as I want when I click on the hotspot. Fine. The trouble is it also opens a full browser window as well! Can anyone point me to hoe and where I can set the behaviors so I get only one browser window, without the toolbars, etc?
Thanks & regards,
Graham

Calling a new Browser Window from Web Dynpro Application - Empty Context

Hello,
I want to open a view in a new browser window, and followed the same way which is described in this thread:
Open view in new browser window
My first try was creating two applications, which refer to the same Component Controller. The opening of a new browser window is triggered by an action, which is called in the other application. As both applications have the same Component Controller, I thought, the context content has to be the same, but actually the context attributes are empty after opening of the new window.
In my second try I created two applications with two different Component Controllers, mapped via embedded Interface Controller. The effect is the same - I have no context content in the view.
Please, can anybody help me?
Thank you in advance.
Ilona Seifert

I done something like this:
[code]
try {
strURL =
     WDURLGenerator.getApplicationURL(
                    "$<b>PROJECT_PATH</b>$/$<b>PROJECT_NAME</b>$",
                                        "$<b>APPLIC_NAME</b>$");
} catch (WDURLException e) {
      // TODO Auto-generated catch block
      e.printStackTrace();
strURL += "?par1=";
strURL += var1;
strURL += "&par2=";
strURL += var2;
strURL += "&par3=";
strURL += var3;
[/code]
and after i retrieve them:
[code]
Var1Value= WDWebContextAdapter.getWebContextAdapter().getRequestParameter("var1");
[/code]
