Calling a Java method using javascript from within a JPanel

Question

I have a Java application which displays results on a JPanel. The results are displayed using HTML by using a JLabel.

Now I want to let the user interact with the local application by allowing local methods to be called when the user clicks on a link in that HTML document.

Is this possible?

`displays results on a JPanel` != `results are displayed using HTML`. You're doing one or the other, not both. — Ryan Stewart, Oct 20 '13 at 12:52
@RyanStewart The OP is saying that _is displayed_ ***using*** _HTML_, which is perfectly possible if he is writing html into a `JLabel`/`JEditorPane` and adding that to a `JPanel`. — BackSlash, Oct 20 '13 at 13:02

To answer you question, then, it is possible, however you cannot use a JLabel, you need to insert a JavaFX component, and then you can set your class as a window variable on the DOM, and thus your methods can be called from JavaScript.

Have a look at this answer on this question. It looks like they are doing exactly what you want.
