Include java object in post

    I am trying to include some visualizations I created using Processing into my posts. Processing exports the visualisation as a java-object and also generates some code you can use to include the java-object on a webpage (see below for an example of the code generated by Processing). However, I have trouble including this code in WordPress.

    I switched to the HTML-editor instead of the visual editor. Removing all of the linebreaks in the code helped as WordPress stopped inserting <br /> into the code. However, WordPress still causes problems with the comments as the –‘s are replaced by m/ndashes.

    So how do I include this code? I would have expected this question to have been asked before, by I could not find it in the archives. Help is appreciated.

    The html-code generated by Processing:

    <!--[if !IE]> -->
  <object classid="java:test.class" type="application/x-java-applet"
      archive="test.jar" width="700" height="800"
      standby="Loading Processing software..." >
    <param name="archive" value="test.jar" />

    OK I have solved the problem by using Shortcode.

    I created the following functions.php in my theme directory:

    <?php
  function processing_object($atts, $content = null) {
    extract(shortcode_atts(array('jar' => '', 'class' => '',
        'width' => 700, 'height' => '800'), $atts));
    if ($jar == '' || $class == '') return '<p>Syntax error</p>';
    $result = <<<EOD
<div id="processing_container">
  <!--[if !IE]> -->
    <object classid="java:$class.class"
        type="application/x-java-applet"
        archive="$jar"
        width="$width" height="$height"
        standby="Loading Processing software..." >
      <param name="archive" value="$jar" />
      <param name="mayscript" value="true" />
      <param name="scriptable" value="true" />
      <param name="image" value="loading.gif" />
      <param name="boxmessage" value="Loading Processing software..." />
      <param name="boxbgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" />
      <param name="test_string" value="outer" />
  <!--<![endif]-->
    <object classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"
        codebase="https://java.sun.com/update/1.5.0/jinstall-1_5_0_15-windows-i586.cab"
        width="$width" height="$height"
        standby="Loading Processing software..."  >
      <param name="code" value="$class" />
      <param name="archive" value="$jar" />
      <param name="mayscript" value="true" />
      <param name="scriptable" value="true" />
      <param name="image" value="loading.gif" />
      <param name="boxmessage" value="Loading Processing software..." />
      <param name="boxbgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" />
      <param name="test_string" value="inner" />

      </p>
    </object>
  <!--[if !IE]> -->
    </object>
  <!--<![endif]-->
</div>
EOD;
    return $result;
  }

  add_shortcode('processing', 'processing_object');
?>

    And could then include the java object by using

    [processing jar="test.jar" class="test"]

    in my post.

    Thanks – worked like a charm. Lifesaver.
    Possibly make this a plugin — This will break when I switch to a different theme, right?
