WebEngine

java.lang.Object
- javafx.scene.web.WebEngine

public final class WebEngine
extends java.lang.Object

WebEngine is a non-visual object capable of managing one Web page at a time. It loads Web pages, creates their document models, applies styles as necessary, and runs JavaScript on pages. It provides access to the document model of the current page, and enables two-way communication between a Java application and JavaScript code of the page.

Loading Web Pages

The WebEngine class provides two ways to load content into a WebEngine object:

From an arbitrary URL using the load(java.lang.String) method. This method uses the java.net package for network access and protocol handling.
From an in-memory String using the loadContent(java.lang.String, java.lang.String) and loadContent(java.lang.String) methods.

Loading always happens on a background thread. Methods that initiate loading return immediately after scheduling a background job. To track progress and/or cancel a job, use the Worker instance available from the getLoadWorker() method.

The following example changes the stage title when loading completes successfully:


import javafx.concurrent.Worker.State;
final Stage stage;
webEngine.getLoadWorker().stateProperty().addListener(
        new ChangeListener<State>() {
            public void changed(ObservableValue ov, State oldState, State newState) {
                if (newState == State.SUCCEEDED) {
                    stage.setTitle(webEngine.getLocation());
                }
            }
        });
webEngine.load("http://javafx.com");

User Interface Callbacks

A number of user interface callbacks may be registered with a WebEngine object. These callbacks are invoked when a script running on the page requests a user interface operation to be performed, for example, opens a popup window or changes status text. A WebEngine object cannot handle such requests internally, so it passes the request to the corresponding callbacks. If no callback is defined for a specific operation, the request is silently ignored.

The table below shows JavaScript user interface methods and properties with their corresponding WebEngine callbacks:

JavaScript method/property	WebEngine callback
`window.alert()`	`onAlert`
`window.confirm()`	`confirmHandler`
`window.open()`	`createPopupHandler`
`window.open()` and `window.close()`	`onVisibilityChanged`
`window.prompt()`	`promptHandler`
Setting `window.status`	`onStatusChanged`
Setting any of the following: `window.innerWidth`, `window.innerHeight`, `window.outerWidth`, `window.outerHeight`, `window.screenX`, `window.screenY`, `window.screenLeft`, `window.screenTop`	`onResized`

The following example shows a callback that resizes a browser window:


Stage stage;
webEngine.setOnResized(
        new EventHandler<WebEvent<Rectangle2D>>() {
            public void handle(WebEvent<Rectangle2D> ev) {
                Rectangle2D r = ev.getData();
                stage.setWidth(r.getWidth());
                stage.setHeight(r.getHeight());
            }
        });

Access to Document Model

The WebEngine objects create and manage a Document Object Model (DOM) for their Web pages. The model can be accessed and modified using Java DOM Core classes. The getDocument() method provides access to the root of the model. Additionally DOM Event specification is supported to define event handlers in Java code.

The following example attaches a Java event listener to an element of a Web page. Clicking on the element causes the application to exit:


EventListener listener = new EventListener() {
    public void handleEvent(Event ev) {
        Platform.exit();
    }
};

Document doc = webEngine.getDocument();
Element el = doc.getElementById("exit-app");
((EventTarget) el).addEventListener("click", listener, false);

Evaluating JavaScript expressions

It is possible to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the context of the current page using the executeScript(java.lang.String) method. For example:


webEngine.executeScript("history.back()");

The execution result is returned to the caller, as described in the next section.

Mapping JavaScript values to Java objects

JavaScript values are represented using the obvious Java classes: null becomes Java null; a boolean becomes a java.lang.Boolean; and a string becomes a java.lang.String. A number can be java.lang.Double or a java.lang.Integer, depending. The undefined value maps to a specific unique String object whose value is "undefined".

If the result is a JavaScript object, it is wrapped as an instance of the JSObject class. (As a special case, if the JavaScript object is a JavaRuntimeObject as discussed in the next section, then the original Java object is extracted instead.) The JSObject class is a proxy that provides access to methods and properties of its underlying JavaScript object. The most commonly used JSObject methods are getMember (to read a named property), setMember (to set or define a property), and call (to call a function-valued property).

A DOM Node is mapped to an object that both extends JSObject and implements the appropriate DOM interfaces. To get a JSObject object for a Node just do a cast:

 JSObject jdoc = (JSObject) webEngine.getDocument();

In some cases the context provides a specific Java type that guides the conversion. For example if setting a Java String field from a JavaScript expression, then the JavaScript value is converted to a string.

Mapping Java objects to JavaScript values

The arguments of the JSObject methods setMember and call pass Java objects to the JavaScript environment. This is roughly the inverse of the JavaScript-to-Java mapping described above: Java String, Number, or Boolean objects are converted to the obvious JavaScript values. A JSObject object is converted to the original wrapped JavaScript object. Otherwise a JavaRuntimeObject is created. This is a JavaScript object that acts as a proxy for the Java object, in that accessing properties of the JavaRuntimeObject causes the Java field or method with the same name to be accessed.

Note that the Java objects bound using JSObject.setMember, JSObject.setSlot, and JSObject.call are implemented using weak references. This means that the Java object can be garbage collected, causing subsequent accesses to the JavaScript objects to have no effect.

Calling back to Java from JavaScript

The JSObject.setMember method is useful to enable upcalls from JavaScript into Java code, as illustrated by the following example. The Java code establishes a new JavaScript object named app. This object has one public member, the method exit.


public class JavaApplication {
    public void exit() {
        Platform.exit();
    }
}
...
JavaApplication javaApp = new JavaApplication();
JSObject window = (JSObject) webEngine.executeScript("window");
window.setMember("app", javaApp);

You can then refer to the object and the method from your HTML page:


<a href="" onclick="app.exit()">Click here to exit application</a>

When a user clicks the link the application is closed.

Note that in the above example, the application holds a reference to the JavaApplication instance. This is required for the callback from JavaScript to execute the desired method.

In the following example, the application does not hold a reference to the Java object:


 JSObject window = (JSObject) webEngine.executeScript("window");
 window.setMember("app", new JavaApplication());

In this case, since the property value is a local object, "new JavaApplication()", the value may be garbage collected in next GC cycle.

When a user clicks the link, it does not guarantee to execute the callback method exit.

If there are multiple Java methods with the given name, then the engine selects one matching the number of parameters in the call. (Varargs are not handled.) An unspecified one is chosen if there are multiple ones with the correct number of parameters.

You can pick a specific overloaded method by listing the parameter types in an extended method name, which has the form "method_name(param_type1,...,param_typen)". Typically you'd write the JavaScript expression:

 receiver["method_name(param_type1,...,param_typeN)"](arg1,...,argN)

Threading

WebEngine objects must be created and accessed solely from the JavaFX Application thread. This rule also applies to any DOM and JavaScript objects obtained from the WebEngine object.

    JavaFX 2.2
  - userDataDirectory
```
private final ObjectProperty<java.io.File> userDataDirectory
```
    Specifies the directory to be used by this WebEngine to store local user data.
    If the value of this property is not null, the WebEngine will attempt to store local user data in the respective directory. If the value of this property is null, the WebEngine will attempt to store local user data in an automatically selected system-dependent user- and application-specific directory.
    When a WebEngine is about to start loading a web page or executing a script for the first time, it checks whether it can actually use the directory specified by this property. If the check fails for some reason, the WebEngine invokes the WebEngine.onError event handler, if any, with a WebErrorEvent describing the reason. If the invoked event handler modifies the userDataDirectory property, the WebEngine retries with the new value as soon as the handler returns. If the handler does not modify the userDataDirectory property (which is the default), the WebEngine continues without local user data.
    Once the WebEngine has started loading a web page or executing a script, changes made to this property have no effect on where the WebEngine stores or will store local user data.
    Currently, the directory specified by this property is used only to store the data that backs the window.localStorage objects. In the future, more types of data can be added.

    confirmHandlerProperty(), getConfirmHandler()
  - confirmHandlerProperty
```
public final ObjectProperty<Callback<java.lang.String,java.lang.Boolean>> confirmHandlerProperty()
```
    JavaScript confirm handler property. This handler is invoked when a script running on the Web page calls the confirm function.
    An implementation may display a dialog box with Yes and No options, and return the user's choice.
  - getPromptHandler
```
public final Callback<PromptData,java.lang.String> getPromptHandler()
```
    Returns the JavaScript prompt handler.

    promptHandlerProperty(), getPromptHandler(), PromptData
  - promptHandlerProperty
```
public final ObjectProperty<Callback<PromptData,java.lang.String>> promptHandlerProperty()
```
    JavaScript prompt handler property. This handler is invoked when a script running on the Web page calls the prompt function.
    An implementation may display a dialog box with an text field, and return the user's input.

```
public final ObjectProperty<EventHandler<WebErrorEvent>> onErrorProperty()
```
  - load
```
public void load(java.lang.String url)
```
    Loads a Web page into this engine. This method starts asynchronous loading and returns immediately.
    
    Parameters:
    
    url - URL of the web page to load
  - loadContent
```
public void loadContent(java.lang.String content)
```
    Loads the given HTML content directly. This method is useful when you have an HTML String composed in memory, or loaded from some system which cannot be reached via a URL (for example, the HTML text may have come from a database). As with load(String), this method is asynchronous.
  - loadContent
```
public void loadContent(java.lang.String content,
                        java.lang.String contentType)
```
    Loads the given content directly. This method is useful when you have content composed in memory, or loaded from some system which cannot be reached via a URL (for example, the SVG text may have come from a database). As with load(String), this method is asynchronous. This method also allows you to specify the content type of the string being loaded, and so may optionally support other types besides just HTML.
  - reload
```
public void reload()
```
    Reloads the current page, whether loaded from URL or directly from a String in one of the loadContent methods.
  - getHistory
```
public WebHistory getHistory()
```
    Returns the session history object.
    
    Returns:
    
    history object
    
    Since:
    
    JavaFX 2.2
  - executeScript
```
public java.lang.Object executeScript(java.lang.String script)
```
    Executes a script in the context of the current page.
    Returns:
    execution result, converted to a Java object using the following rules:
    
    JavaScript Int32 is converted to java.lang.Integer
    Other JavaScript numbers to java.lang.Double
    JavaScript string to java.lang.String
    JavaScript boolean to java.lang.Boolean
    JavaScript null to null
    Most JavaScript objects get wrapped as netscape.javascript.JSObject
    JavaScript JSNode objects get mapped to instances of netscape.javascript.JSObject, that also implement org.w3c.dom.Node
    A special case is the JavaScript class JavaRuntimeObject which is used to wrap a Java object as a JavaScript value - in this case we just extract the original Java value.

```
@Deprecated
public Debugger impl_getDebugger()
```
    Deprecated. This is an internal API that can be changed or removed in the future.
    
    Returns the debugger associated with this web engine. The debugger is an object that can be used to debug the web page currently loaded into the web engine.
    All methods of the debugger must be called on the JavaFX Application Thread. The message callback object registered with the debugger is always called on the JavaFX Application Thread.
    
    Returns:
    
    the debugger associated with this web engine. The return value cannot be null.
  - printStatusOK
```
private static final boolean printStatusOK(PrinterJob job)
```
  - print
```
public void print(PrinterJob job)
```
    Prints the current Web page using the given printer job.
    This method does not modify the state of the job, nor does it call PrinterJob.endJob(), so the job may be safely reused afterwards.
    
    Parameters:
    
    job - printer job used for printing
    
    Since:
    
    JavaFX 8.0
