Listening to browser and starting java - returning data
Hi
Is it possible to start a browser listening java program. E.g listen to what the user writes/selects in the address ? Then the java program operates and returns data to the browser.
I highly appreciate if you nudge me to the right direction. What tools to use is the first major question. Syntax -level answers and examples are great too.
Greetings,

If the browser provides a Java interface for that, yes. If the browser provides a C++ interface, yes, with JNI and C++ code. If the browser doesn't: no.
I think the word you are looking for is "plugin". Or possibly, since you're considering intercepting URLs the user wants to go to, "spyware". Try finding out how to write a plugin for the browser you have in mind for a start.
