LiveConnect

[Dan Desch]

Greetings, I'm new to this forum.

Does anybody use LiveConnect?

Can LiveConnect be used to reference a custom class that resides on a remote server?

Are you talking about LiveConnect as in JavaScript interfacing with Java? Netscape has used the term to mean a couple of other unrelated things.

I'm afraid I can't be of any help there, I haven't used it much except to confirm that it works. (And I'm not sure if it works on the latest IE versions at all. Microsoft isn't the biggest fan of Java or JavaScript.)

Yes, the term LiveConnect has been bandied about alot, but the feature I am referring to is specifically the ability in JavaScript to reference Java native and custom classes. With LiveConnect, you can write such things as:

var mydate = new java.util.Date();

which references the Java Date class.

You can also in theory reference a custom class

var myCustomVar = new Packages.com.me.CustomClass();

My question is this really: can my custom class be referenced somehow from a remote server (as can be done with an applet class) or does it have to reside in the class path on the client machine?
