Gregg Bolinger! Any other solution to initiate some JAVA object or interacting with some desktop application via java-script(or anything) to the HTML/JSP page?

Naeem Ashad! No. Like I said, JavaScript is crippled from being able to communicate with anything outside of the browser for security reasons. I suppose you could write an Applet that was digitally signed and had security rights on the client machine and a desktop app, er, that already sounds way overly complicated. Maybe if you describe what you are trying to do and why we can suggest some alternatives.
Gregg Bolinger! The scenario on which i m working is that some desktop application written is JAVA provides some information to the web page and web page responds on the base of that information. this information is like some thing which relates to the local machine on which desktop application is running. I am trying to find a better way of implementation which should be secure and easily implementable on several machines.
I also viewed the Gears and HTML5 'data storage on local machine option' but i think it unsecured and complicated.
Have you any better solution?

No, I don't. I really don't understand. When you say your desktop application provides information to the web page, how does that happen exactly? Does the desktop application send data to the server via a URL Connection of some sort or what? And what, exactly, are you wanting the web application to do for the desktop?

You are right partially. Desktop app passes the information like some URL and i want to implement that when i open my web app, browser should get me to that URL (which is provided by the desktop application) instead of my aeb-app.
I dont know it is a practicle approach. I am requestion for the confirmation of the possibility. If your answer is yes, please give me some idea of implementation.

As stated, JavaScript has high security which does not allow it to interact and read with files and other programs on the user's computer. You will need to write an applet that can interact with the user's machine.
My question is, you are running a desktop app for security to start, why in the world are you not just writing a desktop application? Web applications are NOT supposed to work this way for security.
