Is there a web browser control in java?

Is there a web browser control in java?

I'm also looking to build a java-based web controller.
I know that using Microsoft's MFC, you can build such browser control.
The interface in C++ that they use (for web control) is IWebBrowser2
Having a web control embedded in your application, it enables you to:
1- start a web browser (Netscape or IE)
2- listen to user actions on the browser (i.e. user types in a URl and hits enter. Upon doing this, a call back method will be invoked on your application , thus allowing you to write code on what exactly you want to do when you detect that a new URL was entered in the browser. For example you may send this URL through a socket connect to another user application for the purpose of sharing the web browsing activities)
I wonder if you can achieve this in java
Thank you very much to whom knows and can help me here on this one..

Launch a default web browser from my java application

Hello,
I have been trying to launch my default web browser from my java application, but am unable do it. Right now, I am using ---- "Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start <url>"); to launch my webbrowser. It launches the browser but displays the command prompt for a second or so, and then replaces my already existing page with the new url.
Is there any way for me to launch the url in a completely new browser each and every time. And I don't want the command prompt to show up for a sec. Please help...!
Thanks in advance.

If by any chance your application is an Applet, you can use this to open a new browser window:
getAppletContext().showDocument(new URL(theUrl), "_blank");
But, you probably would have specified if that were the case. Oh well. Hope it helps someone!

Open URL in Web Browser from a Java Application

Hi,
I have an HTML document that I want to load in a browser window by clicking on a button in my java GUI application.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

You can use the Process class to start the web browser with the proper command line arguments (depends on the web browser though). Or on windows, you can have your program create a batch file with the code start url (where [url] is your url), and this will open the default web browser when run (again you must run it with a Process).

Opening a web browser from a Java prog

I am writing a pseudo-wordprocessor, and would like to be able to set a JMenuItem's action so that when a user clicks it, the system default web browser opens with the web page that I have selected. (e.g. open up a "Help" web page).
The JavaDoc/tutorial doesn't seem to have anything on running external programs from within a Java program, so does nayone know how this is done?

If you don't want to go the Java Runtime route and make your program a bit more cross-platform friendly, you could use the JEditorPane to render an html page directly in your application (assuming of course that you're using Swing).

How can I launch a web browser from my Java application?

I've reed about this at Question of the Week (http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/qow/archive/15/index.html). It doesn't work for me. I'm running win2000 and trying:
try {
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("start iexplore http://java.sun.com");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println( e.getMessage() );
I get:
CreateProcess: start iexplore http://java.sun.com error=2
What's wrong?

This function will launch the default browser under Windows.
public static void displayURL(String url) throws IOException   {
    String cmd = null;
    Process p;
    try {
        String os = System.getProperty("os.name");
        if (os != null && os.startsWith("Windows")) {
            if (os.startsWith("Windows 9") || os.startsWith("Windows Me")) // Windows 9x/Me
                cmd = "start " + url;
            else // Windows NT/2000/XP
                cmd = "cmd /c start " + url;
            p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
    catch(IOException x)        {
        // couldn't exec browser
        System.err.println("Could not invoke browser, command=" + cmd);

How to launch the default web browser from a java app on MAC

I know, this topic has been brought up over, and over, however I couldn't find info regarding MAC environments. I don't have any former experience with MAC, but now I'm getting desperate for a solution. I need to be able to pop up the default browser showing a certain URL on MAC/OS. Any clue would be appreciated.
thanks,

Web browser in Java

I am wondering if there is any way to add a web browser to your Java application.
I found http://www.javio.com/webwindow/webwindow.html but you have to pay for it in order to be able to use it( except a trial version that expires in a hour :s). But I didn't find another web browser on the internet ... :x
So any idea's / tips ?

you can fireup any web-browser from java... just Runtime.exec() it... the trick will be getting it to go to your URL.

How to open a web browser from java

Hi
Would anybody please help me with this. I need to open a web browser from my java app but I don't know. What method I can use?
Thanks.
Hung.

You can use the Runtime class for this. It can run any command. So, you can run the .exe file of your Web browser.
The following code will run Internet Explorer (assuming iexplorer.exe is in C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer):
import java.lang.Runtime;
public class Explore{
public static void main(String[] args) {
try{
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore");
}catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Exception: " + e);

Desktop App, like a web browser

I need to develop a reusable (by developers) content delivery desktop app, cross platform. I'm working in a web developer environment. A couple questions:
1. Is there a good browser component for java that will give me full dHTML capabilities? Static content could be stored as XHTML or XML.
2. For some projects, there will be a need for some dynamic data. I saw HSQL, is that my best option? I know SQL.
I guess I'm describing a self contained 2-tier local web server environment. Any ideas?

About install netscape6 web browser

Hi,fine:
I already install netscape 6 on my solaris 7 for x86 system.But
I open web browser appear "hot java"browser through CDE environment.
Now I hope my web browser is netscape 6 browser .Please tell me
how to to it.
Thank again.

Make sure the command "netscape" can be found in your $PATH.
When you click on the "Web-Browser" icon, CDE runs the shell
script /usr/dt/bin/sdtwebclient to start the web browser. This
script searches your $PATH for the commands "netscape", "sdthotjava"
and "hotjave". The scripts starts the first one it finds.

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.

Displaying a web browser on an appplication (possibly grabbing DLL's?)

Hi,
I've been working on a loader for a game called RuneScape. I don't want to add the applet from a jar and it would most likely be easier to just add a browser page if possible. There's a program called SwiftKit (http://swiftkit.com/) which does it, but I highly doubt it's written in Java.
All in all I'm wondering if it's possible to add a web browser to a Java applcation.

Kleopatra wrote:
then why a browser to start with? You could run it (locally) as a standalone application or as a webstartable. Why do you think "applet"?
And no, Desktop is for showing a webpage as referenced by the given url in the default browser. It's not (and should not be) for controlling that browser.
CU
Jeanettecould you give me an example or a referrence web site to look at for showing the standalone application?
