Still trying to decide which application will suit : current options JxBrowser vs SWT widget.
Java application implements a webbrowser control like JxBrowser or SWT browser control. Both of these provide options to pass info from java to javascript.
Now I need to know: Is it possible not to save the html/css/javascript file into the cache? Is it possible to have java serve the content as input (looks like this is possible with SWT, unsure of JxBrowser).
Essentially I don't want to have temporary files, either in the cache or in temp folder, and I want to feed the information from an input stream.
Or do you have to roll/embed your own browser to avoid having all saved to cache?
Perhaps for clarity: I am asking if these two programs offer defined methods when implementing their own browser from within java, to not cache, and if you can stream input directly to serve the html / css/ javascript content.
I understand the no-cache methods in a webbrowser, here I am simply asking whether embedding the browser behaves in the same way. The documentation does not seem very specific about this issue, but perhaps I need to look more.
On further looking it looks like it saves files to cache. Secondly, methods like clearing the cache are so non-specific that if you call clear cache function you happen to have to empty the clients entire cache. Argh....
