Locate the Browser Object in the Java Application

To locate the browser object in the Java application:

2.

To capture a JAVA application, click , and click the Java application layer. Start by capturing the outer most layer. The Class is the class of the layer.

3.

Click Inject. The grey ball turns green if the capture is successful.

4.

In the Components tab, select Highlight and Show class.

5.

Click Load. All the layers are shown.

6.

For any browser-embedded Java application you should be able to find a class with the word “browser” in the class name.

7.

Select the relevant object.

8.

In the Jscript tab, find the methods and fields of the object.

If a component has a field x, you can:

Set the field value: component.InternalObj.x = 0;

Get the field value: var a = component.InternalObj.x;

To call a method, use the following syntax:
component.<method name>(<return type>, <parameter types separated by commas>, <true == the method is static, false otherwise>, <parameters if any>);

For example, getComponentAt returns the component located at coordinates (x,y):

var c = component.InternalObj.getComponentAt(“java.awt.Component”,”int,int”,false, 2, 1);

The last line in the script returns a result if any.

9.

Call getSelectedItem.

10.

Use your JavaScript experience to look for a method such as getBrowser, or any method that has a similar name. The objective is to get the browser object so that you can call JavaScript functions on it.

Sometimes, the object itself is the browser object, in which case you don’t need to look for getBrowser.  You can simply execute the JS function directly on the object.
