Class BrowserControl

java.lang.Object

org.gvsig.raster.wms.app.wmsclient.infobypoint.BrowserControl

public class BrowserControl
extends java.lang.Object

A simple, static class to display a URL in the system browser.

Under Unix systems, it will open one of the browser set through the setBrowserCommand(String). The argument of this method must be a fully qualified command or one of the commands returned by getSupportedBrowsers().
By default, the browser is Firefox, which is included in the list of supported browsers.

Under Windows, this will bring up the default browser under windows, usually either Netscape or Microsoft IE. The default browser is determined by the OS so no config is necessary.
This has been tested under Windows 95/98/NT/XP.

Notice that you must include the url type -- either "http://" or "file://".

Under Mac, the usability of this class is pending of test. So probably it does not work

Examples: BrowserControl.displayURL("http://www.javaworld.com") BrowserControl.displayURL("file://c:\\docs\\index.html") BrowserContorl.displayURL("file:///user/joe/index.html");
