Method Detail

getBrowserRunner

public static BrowserRunner getBrowserRunner()

Returns the active BrowserRunner instance. This instance is usually created and initialized during startup.

public static void setBrowserRunner(BrowserRunner browserRunner)

runBrowserOnURL

public abstract void runBrowserOnURL(java.net.URL url,
                                     java.io.File htmlFile,
                                     java.io.PrintWriter printWriter)

Invokes the web browser on url. If the htmlFile is not null, then on Win32 based operating systems, the htmlfile will be launched instead of the URL, as Windows fares better with a redirect from a local .htm[l] file.

Parameters:

url - The URL to launch in the web browser.

htmlFile - The temporary file to use on Windows. This parameter can be null if no temp file is to be used, note however that this could cause the web browser not to launch.

printWriter - The PrintWriter to log any errors returned during the process of launching the web browser. This parameter can be null
