hi,

i have to make a portlet which will be able to launch a heavy application.
this is an old client-server application.

for now, i use an javascript, and it's not working with firefox, just IE with security in the minimal level:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function exec(e){
if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('MSIE')> 0){
 var w = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
 w.run('\"'+e+'\" module=x210030'); //module=x210030 is a parameter
}else{
 alert("Le lancement d'un exécutable n'est possible que sous Internet Explorer");
}
}
//-->
</script>

[..]

<h:commandLink onclick="exec('#{AppCpageV2Bean.cheminApplication}');" // this is the path of my exe.
styleClass="transv" >
 <h:graphicImage style="border:none" value="/images/CPage.jpg"/><h:outputText value=" Cpage V2"/>
</h:commandLink>

this solution is very very very dirty ! (isn't it !)

but i don't know how to do it in an other way.


thanks for help,

regards
