SUGGESTED FIX

getLiveConnectObject() method is added, Applet2Adapters implementation will decide what is the proper object to expose for LiveConnect support. For legacy java.awt.Applet, it is Applet itself. For FX, it will be the user class implement the application instead of the FXApplet2Adapter.

SUGGESTED FIX

The following fix is pening to CR 6998411 and 6998413. Once we clear those two, following fix will work for LiveConnect.

EVALUATION

LiveConnect support is to expose Java object to javascript. The implementation is general in a way that JS interface are through reflection and should work as expected as long as we return real applet object.

Current Applet2Adapter works for LiveConnect as we return the real applet object from Applet2Adapter.getApplet(). The return type need to be changed to Object rather than current Applet to support Applet2 interface in addition to awt.Applet.
