Exception Summary

UnimplementedException

Package org.mozilla.webclient Description

The Webclient public API.

The first Webclient public API call in the application must be BrowserControlFactory.setAppData(java.lang.String). If embedding a native browser, the argument must be the fully qualified path name of the binary directory for the browser. If embedding a non-native browser, null must be passed to this method. This method must be called once and only once in the lifetime of the application.

For browsers that support the concept of "profiles" it must be possible to set the current profile used for this browsing session by calling BrowserControlFactory.setProfile(java.lang.String). This call must be made before the first BrowserControl instance is created. If not specified, the "webclient" profile is used to avoid overwriting any settings in the user's profile.

Upon from return from BrowserControlFactory.setAppData(), BrowserControlFactory.newBrowserControl() may be used to create one or more web browser instances. The returned BrowserControl may then be queried, via BrowserControl.queryInterface(java.lang.String) for additional features.

When the application is done with a BrowserControl instance, it must pass the instance to BrowserControlFactory.deleteBrowserControl(org.mozilla.webclient.BrowserControl).

When the application no longer needs the Webclient API, it must call BrowserControlFactory.appTerminate().
