Accessing JavaMethod from javascript

Is there a way to Accessing JavaMethod from Javascript on a jsp page

<body onunload="doUnload()">

function doUnload()
{
alert("Window is closed...!");
Class1.ClearObject();

}

I am able to get the alert but am not able to access the ClearObject method inside static class Class1

Any help/hint is appreciated

No. That's what you need Ajax for.

Can you guide me through the process

Should this Java method run on the server or on the client? If the former, AJAX is -as Bear mentioned- your best bet. If the latter, you could embed an applet in the page that runs the method for you. That'd be a hack, though, with a number of drawbacks.

It would be running on the client but there's no applet used..could you guide me on the steps using ajax to make the java call

Ajax would be used to communicate back to the server. If the Java code is to run on the client, you'll need to use an applet.
