Kindly help me in this context as mentioned in subject.

I have Security Provider Jar File, which generates Security Key of data on client side.

We dont face any problems in our desktop based application in Swing.

But we are facing problems in Internet application regarding this issue.

We are using IE.5, we want to generate Key using JavaScript on client side before posting the information on server.

Kindly help me how to call java api using javascript!

We are avoiding to use APPLET? but if no possibilty is there then share info regarding applet communication using javascript.

regards

You may be able to use a technology called LiveConnect to call from JavaScript into a Java applet; the Applets FAQ has some pointers on that.

JavaScript can't call other Java code (like a separately running desktop application).

Moving to Applets forum, as by necessity an applet will be involved here.

IE does not fully support LiveConnect. However
if you declare public member vars and methods
in your applet you should be fine.

For instance
[code]
public class MyApplet extends Applet{

public String title

..... your code to set title

}

Then

<html>
<head>
<script>
function testF(){
alert(myapplet.title);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<OBJECT id="myapplet"
classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"
width="1" height="1">
<PARAM name="code" value="MyApplet.class">
</OBJECT>
</body>
</html>
