Re: LiveConnect: XUL JavaScript <-> Java

Hi,

I'll add a +1 to this question. I asked the same question on the
mozilla extension development forum and got no answers.

I was able to write an extension that uses java based on this code:
http://simile.mit.edu/java-firefox-extension/

The code from the simile lab is essentially a convoluted way of getting
a classloader that will load java classes from the XPI file of an
extension.

But, I can only call java from javascript, and not the other way
around, making some things a little awkward. Where the java side needs
to notify the javascript side of some event, I used polling on js side.
Kinda hacky, but it works.

I tried the same thing with JSObject and got no luck. No error message
or exception either, just nothing happens. Arg! I have used JSObject
successfully from an applet in the distant past, for whatever that's
worth. Good luck, and please post back if you figure anything out.
