How to monitor what user writes on browser address bar and record it by JAVA?
You might want to write a firefox plugin and then have that plugin make xml requests to a java based web application to record what was typed.
But other then that, I don’t think there is a way to record what is typed into a browser bar with java without having to do some serious native calls. Even then, I doubt things would work right.
Maybe you could have them download an Applet that could access their browser?
Well, you would need to use whatever the browser is using or some how write a plugin for that particular browser.
What are you trying to do exactly? I’m sure there is already a product out there that will do what you need.

what are native calls?
which programming language do you suggest for this purpose?
Just curious why do you care what user writes on browser address? So, you would record
g
o
o
k
backspace
g
l
e
.
c
o
m
Why not just capture what the URL that user submitted? In this case, you can use HTTP Header “referer” property.
