[Answers] Web cam

Q:
I would like to use with a web cam. I uses webcamjs https://github.com/jhuckaby/webcamjs. However, it doesn't seem to work in the desktop client, while it does work in Google Chrome after I deploy it as a Web App.
A:
HTML5 video is not supported in the version of webkit that is currently embedded in Lianja.
In your particular case as you are building a windows desktop app you can embed an activex into a section and handle the webcam that way.
Just google for webcam activex. There are quite a lot.
Use an activex on windows to handle webcam capture as I have already described.
Don't even think about loading the whole Java vm in your app just to access the webcam. Too heavyweight a solution.
