I am trying to use javaFx for my application. I have a java server tested and running code, actually its a library that initiates server. I have problem loading file from javafx's webview. Suppose the server is running on port 2345 then the following shows javafx's webview blank.

-- some code --- 

Webview view  = new Webview();
view.getEngine().load("http://localhost:2345/sample.html");

---- some code ---

The content loads fine from the web browser but not from the javaFx webview. What is preventing webview to load content/file ? My guess was that the webview load is instantiated before the server is started, so I worked with javaFx runLater but it didn't solve. Any help will be appreciated?

If you have server with http through port 2345 you need to state it's name in advance to port:

"http://servername:2345/sample.html"

e.g. if you have server on the same machine:

"http://localhost:2345/sample.html"

  • Can you please elaborate "webview doesn't load"? White screen? Can it load other sites in your program? – Sergey Grinev Feb 22 '15 at 08:56
  • Yes i can load other sites from my program but i can't load localhost on some port started by server, but i can load the same url from browser... – Kushal Feb 22 '15 at 09:42

    Well the WebView was expecting the complete response from the java server. It was expecting Content-Type: text/html as well but the browser could understand without that. It took me a while to figure out. Hope this helps . Thanks for answering my question. – Kushal Mar 02 '15 at 17:16
