hi all,
i just want to know wether can we get the browsing history from java.(from browsers include IE,Mozilla,opera).i cant able to get the history from temp folder.
thanks in advance.
I was under the impression that browsers had restricted the ability of Javascript to access browsing history. The idea being that the Javascript on this page has no business knowing that I came to this page from... well, it's none of your business.
Why don't you just sit at their desk and look at the browser history? After all, any "tool" you create using JavaScript or Java needs to be executed in their browser or on their system, so if you're going to physically gain access to their system, just look at the history.
Aren't there already network monitoring tools that you could use? Why re-invent the wheel?
i want to achieve the following
Logs Browser activity and sends the Log to Server when it’s requested.

That's the wrong implementation for an employee monitoring tool. A better implementation would be to force the browser to connect via a proxy server, and have the proxy server log the URLs. Fishing through the browser history after the fact also has the flaw that the user can clear the history at any time, or use the new "private browsing" feature which is available in newer browsers which doesn't store URLs in a history file.
