open a link with default browser

Hey everybody,
in order to open a link to a web page from within my Jabaco progs with the default browser I am using the 'Bare Bones Browser Launch solution'

Quoted

The Bare Bones Browser Launch solution is appropriate when a compact lightweight method to open a web page is needed. Bare Bones is free and works on Mac OS X, GNU/Linux, Unix (Solaris), and Windows XP/Vista/7. ...
It will attempt to use the Desktop library from Java 6 but fall back to system calls if the library is unavailable.


It is quite reliable and very easy to use:

Jabaco Source

 
1

BareBonesBrowserLaunch.openURL("http://www.jabaco.org")


Press F1 in your Jabaco window and add the bare-bones-browser-launch-3.1.jar to your project.

This works well via Jabaco runtime, however, applet at run time via web browser returns an error and does not execute.

Message
Error attempting to launch web browser
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission <<ALL FILES>> execute)


I have the below the code to work the exact opposite, to -work- via browser, but -not- jabaco runtime. Go figure, lol.

Also don't forget to add java#net in resources for it to work.

Dim url As java#net#URL
Dim s As String

s = "http://www.google.com/"
url = New java#net#URL(s)
Me.Parent.getAppletContext.showDocument(url,"_newtab")


Greetings,
Jason

Another Option (Yes, I know it's an old thread)

This was the only hit I found when searching for how to do this and subsequently found a different way with out using BareBones.

Import java.awt.Desktop and java.net.uri

Then simply use the following line when you want to open a URL:

Desktop.getDesktop().browse(New URI("http://www.example.com"))

Hi Spysonic,

That would only work on windows, and I also do not think a browser applet is going to be very happy with trying to shell out commands, that would probably cause a security exception and not work in a browser app :)

The other examples given here (some) should work within a .jar file/browser applet. 8)

Jason
