[FIXED] How can I get the data which has been generated using load HTML feature of JavaFX WebView?

Issue

I have a JavaFX application where I am loading the HTML page. The HTML generates a Base64 which is being written to a file once it is loaded using JavaScript bridge. I am trying to get this Base64 data once it is written from the main class. How can I achieve it?

Below is the code.

Test.java

public class Test {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
        String input = "[{'name': 'sub',
                          'description': 'sub',
                          'length': 25,
                          'diameter': {'outer': 0.5, 'inner': 0}
                         },

    }
}

Solution

Finally I was able to get the result. I kept the alert statement after the canvas image Base64 text generated in HTML. I used webEngine.setOnAlert method to check if the alert was executed and then printed the HTML content. I got the correct response. Below is the code

HTML

alert("ready");

JavaFX application

webEngine.setOnAlert(new EventHandler<WebEvent<String>>(){

    @Override
    public void handle(WebEvent<String> event) {
        //labelWebTitle.setText(webEngine.getTitle());
         if("ready".equals(event.getData())){
             //TODO: initialize
             System.out.println("HTML Ready");
             WebEngine engine = (WebEngine)event.getSource();
             String html = (String) engine.executeScript("document.documentElement.outerHTML");
             org.jsoup.nodes.Document doc = Jsoup.parse(html);
             Element image = doc.getElementById("canvasImage");
             System.out.println(image.attr("src"));
        }
    }

});
