I've got a webapp which displays articles and pictures which will be printed in newspapers.
The webapp is just displaying a list of articles with their pictures thumbnails.
Clicking on the articles or thumbnails permits to launch InDesign and edit the article with its pictures (InDesign is a PAO app).
Actually, this works only with Firefox. If using Chrome or IE, InDesign application won't be launched. Instead the article will be downloaded and I'll have to double-click on the downloaded file in order to edit it from within InDesign.
Since Firefox v.48, this doesn't work anymore and clicking on the picture just download it.
What I want to build is a Java app that will listen a specific port, waiting for arguments (a local file location). Each time I'll click on a picture, InDesign will be launched directly.
So, in my webapp, each article/picture will have a href looking like : http://localhost:6789/myJavaLauncher/localFileLocationToOpenWithInDesign
When clicking on such a link, any article will be open directly in InDesign for editing purpose.
How should I do that ? -> what is the best way to catch all args passed in the URL (path and file name) and send them to a local Java app that will launch the correct application for the given file ?
Thanx by advance.
