Invoke java method from JavaScript (not applet!)

[Vlad Golodov]

I need to invoke a simple method from users site.
For example, it could be

public class Test{
public Test(){
}

public String getString(String parameter){
return "String";
}
}

From JS i need to getString from Test. My class will work with Oracle and will be located on a different ip-address.

Is it possible without Applet?

To invoke a java method from javascript - have a look at http://www.rgagnon.com/howto.html
Then click on java and go to Javascript interaction.

Cheers,
Rachel

Thanks for the good resourse, but i can't use applets in my task. Even if i would use applets, they wouldn't permit to make a call from other domain

Maybe there are more possibilities how to get variable from java to JS?

I have to check

if(variable == true)
1
else
2

And i have to take this variable from java located on different site. On client site can use only small JS code.

If you are using JSP, you might be able to do it with an expression. I did this once with ASP. For example, if your javascript code needs to use a JSP variable:

function myJsFunction () {
var jsVar = <%= jspVar %>;
}

The jspVar could be a value returned from a Java method. I haven't tried this in JSP, but it did work in ASP.
