Calling a Java method using javascript from within a JPanel

Question

I have a Java application which displays results on a JPanel. The results are displayed using HTML by using a JLabel.

Now I want to let the user interact with the local application by allowing local methods to be called when the user clicks on a link in that HTML document.

Is this possible?

Answer 1

To answer you question, then, it is possible, however you cannot use a JLabel, you need to insert a JavaFX component, and then you can set your class as a window variable on the DOM, and thus your methods can be called from JavaScript.

Have a look at this answer on this question . It looks like they are doing exactly what you want.
