I have a soft keyboard (used in a touchscreen) and I need to redirect the output of the keyboard to any text field that has focus. When the keyboard is a part of an application, this is okay - Because I simply register the text field that has focus with the keyboard. However, if the keyboard output has to be directed to ANY application (A HTML form for example) - Then how do I do it?
Thanks

This isn't really an appropriate post for the RMI/CORBA forum. Especially as it's already been posted to the Swing/AWT forum.
Please direct all followups to the Swin/AWT forum.
Thanks.

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
