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

4001 E. Chapel Hill-Nelson Highway
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.
