Info

to drive an embedded applet is that changes to the interface can be made without the hassle of recompiling the Java code. Discovering Interfaces Many new programmers wonder how to find out what ―hooks‖ are made available by a particular applet. An easy way to find out is to examine the source code (the .java file) associated with the applet. If it is not available, you can use a for/in loop on the appropriate Applet object to print out its properties. Anything that is not usually a property of an Applet browser object is a part of the interface defined by the applet‘s class. However, this method is discouraged because it gives you no information about the type of arguments the applet‘s methods expect. Generally, it‘s not a good idea to drive an applet from JavaScript unless you know for sure how the interface it exposes should be used. Type Conversion The issue of type conversion in method arguments has serious bearing on JavaScript-driven applets. While most primitive JavaScript types are easily converted to their Java counterparts, converting complicated objects can be problematic. If you need to pass user-defined or nontrivial browser objects to applets, close examination of each browser‘s type conversion rules is required. A viable option is to convert the JavaScript object to a string before passing it to an applet. The applet can then manually reconstruct the object from the string. A better option might be to retrieve the objects directly using the Java classes mentioned in the following section. Security A final issue is the fact that most browsers‘ security models will prevent an applet from performing an action at the behest of JavaScript that the script could not otherwise perform on its own. This makes sense when one considers that Java is (in theory) designed to protect the user from malicious code. Experimentation with the restrictions placed on JavaScript-driven applets reveals inconsistent security policies among different browsers and versions. Accessing JavaScript with Applets Although it may come as a surprise, it is possible for Java applets to drive JavaScript. Internet Explorer, Netscape, and Mozilla-based browsers are capable of using the netscape Java package, which defines a family of class libraries for JavaScript interaction. In particular, the JSObject class (netscape.javascript.JSObject) allows an applet to retrieve and manipulate JavaScript objects in the current page. In addition, it affords an applet the ability to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the browser window as if it were a part of the page. On the (X)HTML side of things, all that is required to enable this functionality is the addition of the mayscript attribute to the tag in question. The mayscript attribute is a nonstandard security feature used to prevent malicious applets from modifying the documents in which they are contained. Omitting this attribute (theoretically) prevents the applet from crossing over into ―browser space,‖ though enforcement by browsers is spotty. While this is a powerful capability, Java-driven JavaScript is rarely used in practice. Details about these classes can be found in Java documentation for the specific browsers. Plug-ins Browser plug-ins are executable components that extend the browser‘s capabilities in a particular way. When the browser encounters an embedded object of a type that it is not prepared to handle (e.g., something that isn‘t HTML or other Web file type), the browser might hand the content off to an appropriate plug-in. If no appropriate plug-in is installed, the user is given the option to install one (assuming the page is properly written). Plug-ins consist of executable code for displaying or otherwise processing a particular type of data. In this way, the browser is able to hand special types of data, for example multimedia files, to plug-ins for processing.
Plug-ins are persistent in the browser in the sense that once installed, they remain there unless manually removed by the user. Most browsers come with many plug-ins already installed, so you may have used them without even knowing. Plug-ins were introduced in Netscape 2 but are supported, at least HTML–syntax-wise, by most major browsers, including Opera and Internet Explorer 3 and later. However, the actual component in the case of Internet Explorer is not a plug-in but instead an ActiveX control discussed later in the chapter. Plug-ins are a Netscape-introduced technology supported by many other browsers. Embedding Content for Plug-Ins Although never officially a part of any HTML specification, the tag is most often used to include embedded objects for Netscape and Internet Explorer. A Macromedia Flash file might be embedded as follows: The result of loading a page with this file is shown in Figure 18-3. Figure 18-3: An embedded Flash file The most important attributes of the tag are src, which gives the URL of the embedded object, and pluginspage, which indicates to the browser where the required plug-in is to be found if it is not installed in the browser. Plug-in vendors typically make available the embedding syntax, so check their site for the value of pluginspage. Recall that applets embedded with tags are passed initial parameters in tags. The syntax of is different in that initial parameters are passed using attributes of the element itself. For instance, in the preceding example the play attribute tells the plug-in to immediately begin playing the specified file. The element is the newer, official way to include embedded objects of any kind in your pages. However, is not supported in Netscape browsers prior to version 4, and continues to be supported by new browsers. So it is unlikely that will completely supplant any time in the near future.
