What is the best way to implement JavaScript that uses .JAR files on Open UI?

Greetings,

As part of our Siebel customization we have a scanning control in Open UI, which was previously done with ActiveX. All the Javascript solutions however require the use of Java, usually in the form of .jar files. Since OpenUI doesn't support java in itself (loading the jar-invoking javascript file crashes the frontend) we have been trying to get it to work via iframes which contain an HTML page that runs a Javascript library and the JARs are called from there. This way, the user can access the functionality we want through Siebel's Open UI.

However iframes are not a great solution and require effort to properly configure and maintain. What would be a better approach to using a Javascript library in OUI that calls Java for its operations? I have considered web templates but it is unclear which direction to take in that regard.
