Analysis

Create a native C++ wrapper for delivery of browser content.

Overview

The idea is to use WebKit, a portable browser engine to create a native browser that is able to communicate with Java.
Communication between C++ and Java is described in GROUP_WRAPPERS_R0.
The browser runs a windowless Qt application and listens for commands, once a command is received it sends a response which optionally has a payload.
For now the browser won't be able to play Flash, Flash content will be displayed in a different kind of frame.
In future revisions of this task Sophie 2 browser frame will be connected with the native wrapper and browser content will be available in Sophie 2.

Task requirements

The native browser should be able to:

• Open a web page.
• Return a captured webpage.
• Receive mouse and keyboard events.
• Resize its main window.

Task result

C++ and Java source code.
Native executables for Linux, Linux 64bit, Windows, Windows 64bit, Mac OS X, Mac OS X 64bit.

Implementation idea

Use Qt implementation of WebKit to create a browser and C++ and Java wrappers for communication.
