Applet method calling from Javascript
I have an applet to upload some files from specific folder and delete them,but something is wrong when I call an applet function from my javascript code, when I call that function from init()
it works fine.
My applet code :
public class Uploader extends Applet {
String serverPath;
String clientPath;
private JSObject win;
@Override
public void init() {
serverPath = getParameter("serverPath");
clientPath = getParameter("clientPath");
try {
win = JSObject.getWindow(this);
} catch (JSException e) {
log.warning("Can't access JSObject object");
}
upload(topic,clientPath);
}
public void upload(String topic,String clientPath) {
log.log(Level.SEVERE, "upload functiond");
DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
MultipartEntity form = new MultipartEntity();
log.log(Level.SEVERE, "upload functiond2");
try {
File directory = new File(clientPath);
log.log(Level.SEVERE, "upload functiond2.2");
File[] files = directory.listFiles();
log.log(Level.SEVERE, "upload functiond2.5");
int i = 0;
for (File file : files) {
log.log(Level.SEVERE, "upload functiond2.6");
i++;
form.addPart("file" + String.valueOf(i), new FileBody(file));
System.out.println("adding file " + String.valueOf(i) + " " + file);
log.log(Level.SEVERE, "adding file " + String.valueOf(i) + " " + file);
}
log.log(Level.SEVERE, "upload functiond3");
form.addPart("topic", new StringBody(topic, Charset.forName("UTF-8")));
form.addPart("action", new StringBody(action, Charset.forName("UTF-8")));
form.addPart("path", new StringBody(serverPath, Charset.forName("UTF-8")));
HttpPost post = new HttpPost(serverPath);
....
and this is my javascript code:
document.applet.upload(title,"c:\scan");
When I called from javascript only log printed:
log.log(Level.SEVERE, "upload functiond2.2");
Note that when I call from init
method of applet it works fine.
I wrap my code into a PriviligedAction
, but goes only one step forward and hang on
log.log(Level.SEVERE, "upload functiond2.5");
The interaction of Java and JS complicates security. The JRE cannot trust the JS, so it decides the entire 'chain of operations' that include your code is untrusted. There is a way to fix it.
The code needs to be wrapped in a PrivilegedAction
and called using one of the AccessController
methods that doPrivileged(..)
. Look at the top of the AccessController
docs. (above the methods) to see example usage.
