Re: [atf-dev] How the ATF interacts with Mozilla browser?

Hi, David:

 

Thank you for your answer. It helps me a lot.

 

I feel a little bit confused about injecting _javascript_ into the DOM and setURL() to the script. How can we inject _javascript_ into the DOM and why does the java application need to do setURL() to the script? Could you explain more on that?

 

I think that through JAVAXPCOM, we could get a Mozilla instance and through that instance, we can get all interfaces provided by XPCOM. Is that true?  Besides that, is there any interface provided by JAVAXPCOM or XPCOM to let Mozilla communicate with the _javascript_ running in it?

 

Thank you very much.

Yes, this is possible and it works well. You need to inject the _javascript_ into the DOM, and then from java do a setURL() to your script.

For the other direction (_javascript_ back to java), we created a simple DOM monitor that looks for and acts on the presence of certain attributes that get set dynamically through _javascript_.

Take good care,
David

Hi:

After I watched the web seminar of ATF, I found that ATF can partially meet the requirements of our project. However, I have no idea about whether ATF can meet the following requirement:

I need a Java applicationto invoke a _javascript_ function running in Mozilla browser. Besides that, the result can be sent back to the Java application. Is it possible to do this? Could anybody give me a certain answer?

Thank you all for any suggestion on that.

Ross

are also useful, that's great!Those ATF classes may also serve as
your JavaXPCOM examples, if the documentation is that sparse.

Good luck.
