Triangle Java Users Group Presents:

JAXCENT
A Java API For Internet Explorer.
Unit testing, automated browsing, UI, and AJAX style operations for Java

presented by Mukesh Prasad

*Monday, August 20, 2007 *
*6:30 PM - 9:00 PM*

Research Triangle Park, North Carolina

Abstract:
Jaxcent is a Java API for Internet Explorer and its DOM (Document Object
Model) structure. There are a few major areas of applications:

   - Automated Unit Testing of Web Applications. Jaxcent API has features
   to simulate user behavior, such as navigating to a URL, filling in form
   fields, and clicking buttons. It can detect browser responses, including a
   JavaScript error (alert) message, or a navigation to the form's target
   action page. If an error message was posted, its text can be retrieved and
   the dialog box can be closed by the API, so testing can continue without
   human intervention. The HTML on the resulting pages can be parsed and
   validated for correctness.
   - Automated Web Browsing.
   - Putting an Internet Explorer panel in Swing or AWT applications.
   - AJAX style operations. Because the Jaxcent API provides control over
   the DOM, document elements can be updated in place without a need to
   navigate or refresh the document. While Jaxcent is similar to AJAX, it does
   not require either JavaScript or XML. On the other hand, because it does not
   use a "sandbox" Java, it's use is only appropriate in trusted environments
   such as intranets.

About the Speaker:
Mukesh Prasad has been in the software industry since pre-historic times
(well, speaking in "internet time") and has actually worked for now extinct
dinosaurs such as Digital Equipment Corporation and Software Arts (Software
Arts was the inventor of the spreadsheet.)

He has worked in C, C++, Java and C#. He worked as a consultant for a number
of years, and in his free time developed various software packages and
sites, that he now works on. Some of his work can be found at:

   - http://www.ezjcom.com A bridge builder that allows calling COM from
   Java or Java from Visual Basic or C#. Jaxcent is an outgrowth of this
   project.
   - http://www.blazix.com A Java web/application server.
   - http://www.jsptut.com A JSP Tutorial site. Somewhat popular, usually
   ranks #1 in Google for "JSP Tutorial".
   - Jaxcent is his latest project.
