Java App.to be a link

[A1Pat]

Hello all,

I'm having an application file, believe to be a Java, and I wonder if there is a way for me to make it as a link so when the link is clicked, a new page will be opened with that Java application to execute.

If it is doable, please show me a way.

Thanks!

I've found it best to use a shortcut instead. I create a new shortcut where the "target" is something like:
%windir%\system32\javaw.exe -cp h:\java -Duser.home="h:\java" dandc, where dandc is the name of my main class, and it's found in h:\java.

I'm interested in having this application to execute on browser so that anyone can go online to utilize this application. Do you think it is workable?

P.S. I don't want view to download the application either.

What browser do you use?
What OS do you use?

This application-file, is it a jar-Archive?

normally, i'm using IE and Firefox... but I would really prefer IE for this project most of the time.

my OS is WinXP, but this is not my point cause I'm looking for a way for most, if not all, users with all kind of OS to be able to use this application.

finally, it's not a jar-Archive, and I'm don't even sure whether it is Java myself, except I was told by that it looks like a Java file, that's all!

Sorry about the lack of understanding, hope you can have a better view about my situation now.

Let's start from the beginning. What's is exactly your application? A file? A set of files? Do you know the extension of the files? Maybe you just use the application in your browser?

Cheers,
Dian

You may start a javaprogram INSIDE and FROM the browser if, and only if it is a java-applet, which would be a .class-file, or a .jar-file, but a .jar- or .class-file might be an application too (or just a part of something) which isn't executable, and especially not executable INSIDE the browser.

Did you ever manage to run cmd.exe inside IE/FF?
Well - some pdf-viewers integrate inside the browser, that's true.

Think of starting any executable in the browser, like:
file:///C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/format.exe%20C:

- masked with a <a href="..."> Earn lot of money easy ... </a>

You couldn't click any link any longer, without inspecting it's command first.

Exactly, it's only a single file and it's type of file is Application, when I right-clicked to property. When I double-clicked the file, it opens right up and works just fine. I don't see any included file in the folder anywhere. Does this help?

But you know what, I'm pretty much giving up on trying anyway. Your reply, if any, will provide me a better understanding about the situation. I thank you for all of your help and sorry if you might think I'm wasting your time.

Again, thank you!

I definitely think that has nothing to do with Java. This is more a Windows question. Anyway, I don't think you can publish an application to be accessed via the browser the way you want to.

Now that I think it better, you can do it using Javascript

but the application file needs to be in the cliente machine.
