Accessing JavaScript Function of another Web-Application

[sandeep lokhande]

I want Call a client side method of an Webapplication from outside that application,
Lets say from my application or script, so as to trigger the functionality of that web-application.

I think as we are accessing only client side JS, so we could call the method.

Is it possible? If yes then what should be the approch for the same? Thank you in Advance. :-)

Hello sandeep,

In order to call a method outside the application, you have to provide one of the following:

- Webservice;
- RMI server; or
- Sockets server.

In every case, you should implement code in your web application to allow other proccess to comunicate with it and access its methods.
The closer to what you need is RMI, that literally allows you to invoke remote methods, but it will need that both sides to maintain an Interface of which methods may be called.

Please take a look on that.

None of that is applicable to client-side JavaScript.

And no, you cannot call the JavaScript of another page that was not served from your own domain.
