Java Forum / General / November 2005Creating a web browser in Java
I am creating a web browser in Java. In this browser I am using JEditorPane for Browser Window. I am using "setPage(String url)" method to display the page. The browser can display the page but there are some problems which are as mentioned:: 1. The browser is not displaying the java script. 2. It is not displaying the Applet. 3. The images are also not displayed. > I am creating a web browser in Java. In this browser I am using > JEditorPane for Browser Window.

Did you actually have a question, or were you just commenting? As an aside, you would need to change JEditorPane (extensively) to support 1., and 2., though 3. is probably an error in your HTML. Did you check it in the validator*, or, like most programmers, just presume you know how to write HTML correctly? Note that JEditorPane is not considered robust enough to use as a general HTML parser/renderer for HTML documents on the internet, as most of those are invalid, and J.E.P. does not render invalid HTML (sometimes throwing some exciting and long stacktraces, wile not rendering the document, as a bonus!). * <http://validator.w3.org/> > Note that JEditorPane is not considered robust enough > to use as a general HTML parser/renderer for HTML documents > on the internet, as most of those are invalid, and J.E.P. > does not render invalid HTML (sometimes throwing some > exciting and long stacktraces, wile not rendering the > document, as a bonus!). Yup, the Swing HTML implementation only attempts to support a subset of ye very olde HTML 3.2, and it does that badly. On the bright side, there is a project to integrate modern browsers as components. https://jdic.dev.java.net/ IIRC, it is intended that Java SE 6 will include a version of this when it is released next year.

It is of little help to me. 'You poor thing' :-( (shrugs) Short of you being a lot more explicit about things such as.. - the requirements of your application - the general nature of the HTML you are attempting to render (E.G. internet or the company intranet) - The minimum Java expected of the client - The reasons an embedded browser would not fulfill your user's requirements. ..that is about all that can be added. >> IIRC, it is intended that Java SE 6 will include a version of this >> when it is released next year. > > Cool! I'm looking forward to using SE6 more and more. Oops, that appears to be (no longer) the case. Deferred to Dolphin (Java SE 7).

About a year ago I went looking for a substitute for JEditorPane to render HTML and I seem to remember that was one of the options. > On the bright side, there is a project to integrate modern browsers as > components. > > https://jdic.dev.java.net/ http://jrex.mozdev.org quite an impressive effort... uses JNI to wrap Java around the Gecko Runtime Environment, upon which Mozilla and a bunch of other browsers are based. Works with AWT and Swing, and I personally got it working with SWT.
