How to enable local HTML5 storage in javafx webview

Question

Is there any way to enable local HTML5 storage in javafx 2.2 webview? Whatever I do, it seems that local storage is disabled / not available for the WebView supplied by javafx. I even tested it using http://html5test.com , which really showed that local storage is not enabled. could there be a js script that would allow this? Are there any alternatives, given that I do not control the web pages loaded in the WebView. Thanks

Answer 1

HTML5 local storage functions are not implemented for JavaFX 2.2 WebView, so there is no way to enable this function with this version of JavaFX.

WebView for Java 8 currently implements local HTML5 storage, you can get a preview version to test the functionality as it is implemented.

• WebView to support HTML-5 localStorage?
• Deploy window.localStorage
