Foil 6 Java - JavaScript communication

From Overview of TANGO Base Technology Rome Lab Quarterly Review for CIV -- October 1 96. by Marek Podgorny *
JavaScript defines hierarchy of objects on HTML page.These objects are accessible from Java via LiveConnect mechanisms implemented in netscape.javascript.JSObject class.
  • For example: JSObject.getWindow(this) method returns the root of the JavaScript hierarchy; JSObject.getWindow(this).getMember("document").getMember(frame_name) returns JSObject representing Netscape frame with parameter name=frame_name
  • For example: <script>package.class.method();</script>
