1006961 - xulrunner application not working with LiveConnect

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Toolkit Graveyard :: XULRunner, defect)

Description

[mrtwarg]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/34.0.1847.131 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Updated xulrunner from 15.0.1 to newer version (attempted several months ago).  Xulrunner application using LiveConnect to talk to Java Applet from Javascript no longer works after xulrunner version 15.0.1.
Understand LiveConnect was updated and found no examples on the internet of it working again from a xulrunner application (examples are html not xul).
Read many articles on Bugzilla put could not find one that specified whether this capability still exists or due to security reasons is no longer possible.
If it is possible to have a xulrunner application use the current LiveConnect to communicate between Javascript and Java, could someone provide an example please?!


Actual results:

Connection to applet could not be established.


Expected results:

That it would work as it did on xulrunner 15.0.1.

If you are talking about the window.java interface, this was removed intentionally in bug 748343 for web content and chrome JS. You can still use Java by creating a Java object via <embed> and using standard scripting.
