Java calling JavaScript (Definition)

Java has mechanisms for calling back to JavaScript directly.

For Java to call JavaScript functionality, it needs to have access to the netscape.javascript.JSObject class. This is a Java wrapper that encapsulates a JavaScript object and makes it accessible to the Java environment.

Warnings:

This is only available in Netscape and there is presently no equivalent capability in MSIE.

See also: JSObject object, LiveConnect, netscape.javascript.JSObject
