browser and web start

Hi, currently I am integration a web start application with an old version of the application in php&html&javascript.

From the html page i start the java application (using a SISListener). The problem that I have is that I want toreload the existant web page is some conditions are matched. If I use BasicService.showDocument(), thepredefined browser opens anew window.

Do you have any ideas about reloading the web page in the same tab/window in the browser that launched the java application?

I have thought about using a file/Prefences stored in the local system as a middleman, or using the server for the same purpose, (and a active loop in javascript that asks an applet to check in either location), but I dont like these ideas, It must exists something much simpler

Thanks for your answers

Because javaws runs as a seperate process independant of the browser, there is no specific way to access the "current" web page in any actively running browser.

There have been several requests to add such functionality, but doesn't see to be any way to do it across all browsers and platforms.
