Constructor Detail

Browser

public Browser(
Composite parent,
               int style)
Constructs a new instance of this class given its parent and a style value describing its behavior and appearance.

The style value is either one of the style constants defined in class SWT which is applicable to instances of this class, or must be built by bitwise OR'ing together (that is, using the int "|" operator) two or more of those SWT style constants. The class description lists the style constants that are applicable to the class. Style bits are also inherited from superclasses.

Parameters:
parent - a widget which will be the parent of the new instance (cannot be null)
style - the style of widget to construct
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException -
  • ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the parent is null
SWTException -
  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the parent
SWTError -
  • ERROR_NO_HANDLES if a handle could not be obtained for browser creation
Since:
3.0
See Also:
Widget.getStyle()
Method Detail

checkWidget

protected void checkWidget()
Description copied from class: Widget
Throws an SWTException if the receiver can not be accessed by the caller. This may include both checks on the state of the receiver and more generally on the entire execution context. This method should be called by widget implementors to enforce the standard SWT invariants.

Currently, it is an error to invoke any method (other than isDisposed()) on a widget that has had its dispose() method called. It is also an error to call widget methods from any thread that is different from the thread that created the widget.

In future releases of SWT, there may be more or fewer error checks and exceptions may be thrown for different reasons.

Overrides:
checkWidget in class Widget

clearSessions

public static void clearSessions()
Clears all session cookies from all current Browser instances.

Since:
3.2

getCookie

public static 
String getCookie(
String name,
                               
String url)
Returns the value of a cookie that is associated with a URL. Note that cookies are shared amongst all Browser instances.

Parameters:
name - the cookie name
url - the URL that the cookie is associated with
Returns:
the cookie value, or null if no such cookie exists
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException -
  • ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the name is null
  • ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the url is null
Since:
3.5

setCookie

public static boolean setCookie(
String value,
                                
String url)
Sets a cookie on a URL. Note that cookies are shared amongst all Browser instances. The value parameter must be a cookie header string that complies with RFC 2109. The value is passed through to the native browser unchanged.

Example value strings: foo=bar (basic session cookie) foo=bar; path=/; domain=.eclipse.org (session cookie) foo=bar; expires=Thu, 01-Jan-2030 00:00:01 GMT (persistent cookie) foo=; expires=Thu, 01-Jan-1970 00:00:01 GMT (deletes cookie foo)

Parameters:
value - the cookie value
url - the URL to associate the cookie with
Returns:
true if the cookie was successfully set and false otherwise

checkSubclass

protected void checkSubclass()
Description copied from class: Widget
Checks that this class can be subclassed.

The SWT class library is intended to be subclassed only at specific, controlled points (most notably, Composite and Canvas when implementing new widgets). This method enforces this rule unless it is overridden.

IMPORTANT: By providing an implementation of this method that allows a subclass of a class which does not normally allow subclassing to be created, the implementer agrees to be fully responsible for the fact that any such subclass will likely fail between SWT releases and will be strongly platform specific. No support is provided for user-written classes which are implemented in this fashion.

The ability to subclass outside of the allowed SWT classes is intended purely to enable those not on the SWT development team to implement patches in order to get around specific limitations in advance of when those limitations can be addressed by the team. Subclassing should not be attempted without an intimate and detailed understanding of the hierarchy.

Overrides:
checkSubclass in class Composite

execute

public boolean execute(
String script)
Executes the specified script.

Executes a script containing javascript commands in the context of the current document. If document-defined functions or properties are accessed by the script then this method should not be invoked until the document has finished loading (ProgressListener.completed() gives notification of this).

Parameters:
script - the script with javascript commands
Returns:
true if the operation was successful and false otherwise
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException -
  • ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the script is null
SWTException -
  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS when called from the wrong thread
  • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED when the widget has been disposed
Since:
3.1
See Also:
ProgressListener.completed(ProgressEvent)

evaluate

public 
Object evaluate(
String script)
                throws 
SWTException
Returns the result, if any, of executing the specified script.

Evaluates a script containing javascript commands in the context of the current document. If document-defined functions or properties are accessed by the script then this method should not be invoked until the document has finished loading (ProgressListener.completed() gives notification of this).

If the script returns a value with a supported type then a java representation of the value is returned. The supported javascript -> java mappings are:

  • javascript null or undefined -> null
  • javascript number -> java.lang.Double
  • javascript string -> java.lang.String
  • javascript boolean -> java.lang.Boolean
  • javascript array whose elements are all of supported types -> java.lang.Object[]
An SWTException is thrown if the return value has an unsupported type, or if evaluating the script causes a javascript error to be thrown.

Parameters:
script - the script with javascript commands
Returns:
the return value, if any, of executing the script
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException -
  • ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the script is null
SWTException -
  • ERROR_FAILED_EVALUATE when the script evaluation causes a javascript error to be thrown
  • ERROR_INVALID_RETURN_VALUE when the script returns a value of unsupported type
  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS when called from the wrong thread
  • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED when the widget has been disposed
Since:
3.5
See Also:
ProgressListener.completed(ProgressEvent)

forward

public boolean forward()
Navigate to the next session history item.

Returns:
true if the operation was successful and false otherwise
Throws:
SWTException -
  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS when called from the wrong thread
  • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED when the widget has been disposed
Since:
3.0
See Also:
back()

getBrowserType

public 
String getBrowserType()

Returns:
the type of the native browser
Since:
3.5

getJavascriptEnabled

public boolean getJavascriptEnabled()
Returns true if javascript will be allowed to run in pages subsequently viewed in the receiver, and false otherwise.

Returns:
the receiver's javascript enabled state
Throws:
SWTException -
  • ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
  • ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
Since:
3.5
See Also:
setJavascriptEnabled(boolean)

getStyle

public int getStyle()
Description copied from class: Widget
Returns the receiver's style information.

Note that the value which is returned by this method may not match the value which was provided to the constructor when the receiver was created. This can occur when the underlying operating system does not support a particular combination of requested styles. For example, if the platform widget used to implement a particular SWT widget always has scroll bars, the result of calling this method would always have the SWT.H_SCROLL and SWT.V_SCROLL bits set.

Overrides:
getStyle in class Widget
Returns:
the style bits

getText

public 
String getText()
Returns a string with HTML that represents the content of the current page.
