The embedded WebView browser I am using needs special handling for particular URLs, to open them in the native default browser instead of WebView. The actual browsing part works fine but I need to stop the WebView from displaying that page as well. I can think of several ways to do it but none of them work. Here is my code:
this.wv.getEngine().locationProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<String>() {
@Override
public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends String> observable, String oldValue, String newValue)
{
Desktop d = Desktop.getDesktop();
try
{
URI address = new URI(observable.getValue());
if ((address.getQuery() + "").indexOf("_openmodal=true") > -1)
{
// wv.getEngine().load(oldValue); // 1
// wv.getEngine().getLoadWorker().cancel(); // 2
// wv.getEngine().executeScript("history.back()"); // 3
d.browse(address);
}
}
catch (IOException | URISyntaxException e)
{
displayError(e);
}
}
});
A bit more info about what happens in each of three cases
1. Loading the previous address
wv.getEngine().load(oldValue);
This kills the JVM. Funnily enough, the page opens fine in the native browser.

2. Cancelling the worker
wv.getEngine().getLoadWorker().cancel();
Does nothing, the page loads in both the WebView and native browser.
