javascript - Is there an easy way of running a program from a Firefox addon? -


i found runtime.connectnative , read overly complex (it requires os specific configuration of target executable, permissions addond , other over-engineered things). looking trivial solution on few lines like:

const exec = require('child_process').exec; exec('pwd', (error, stdout, stderr) => {   console.log(`stdout: ${stdout}`); });

from documentation (and others, jaromanda x, wrote) seems it's not possible without lot of boilerplate around native messaging.

depending on trying achieve, might @ custom protocols. if program run initiated user, use link, e.g. "myschema://somearguments" run external program. more info there - http://kb.mozillazine.org/register_protocol#firefox_3.5_and_above.

java - sharing object across different classes -

i need "design" advise. have static jdbc objects , "main entry class" shared among other classes. my mainclass looks this: public static jdbc db1; public static jdbc db2; connectdb(makedirectconnection) // depending on runtime passed argument public static connectdb(boolean makedirectconnection) { if(makedirectconnection) // use direct connection db1 = jdbcfactory.getinstance("db/config/main/db1.properties"); db2 = jdbcfactory.getinstance("db/config/main/db2.properties"); } else { // connect using via ssh tunnel (different host , port) db1 = jdbcfactory.getinstance("db/config/tunnel/db1.properties"); db2 = jdbcfactory.getinstance("db/config/tunnel/db2.properties"); } jdbcfactory maintains map of instances. it kinda works ok, if want make unit test classes db1 or db2 being used null pointer exception if unit test don't mainclass.dbconnect() make thing worse - test classes need 1 more dif...
