Hi Team,
Is there any way to make use of Java Access Bridge in Open web Start?
Do we still need the JRE to use the assistive technologies of Java?

Earlier in case of JRE, Access Bridge.dll was readily available in bin folder of the installation, and I just need to enable the Java Access Bridge through command - %JAVA_HOME%\bin\jabswitch -enable
By this I can make use of WindowsAccessBridge-64.dll in my C# code to call the Java access Bridge APIs and to extract and manipulate accessible information about the objects in the Java Virtual Machine/ JNLP application by navigating through the accessible context of the element's hierarchy within it..

Note- Java Access Bridge is a technology that exposes the Java Accessibility API in a Microsoft Windows dynamic-link library (DLL), enabling Java applications that implement the Java Accessibility API to be visible to assistive technologies on Microsoft Windows systems.

Now in case of Open web start I tried enabling the Access Bridge through Command C:\Program Files\OpenWebStart\jre\bin>jabswitch -enable but the API call or even the gateway functions are not working.
Did I miss something or the feature is not available in Open web start?

Please help me if anyone implemented the same and used Windows access Bridge using Open Webstart.

Can you please tell me which company/organization do your belong to?

Any Specific reason you are asking my company name?
