Java automation descendtree

VratHimbo — Wed, 02 Dec 2020 13:26:00 GMT

Hi all,
i've just write another similar post, but unfortunately i'm in the same situation.
I'm doing automation through internet explorer and inside it there is a java web application. It is very slow, and in this case i've not the field to put descendtree,ignoreisnotshowing.
I try to select only "visible" selector, "ancestor count", "match index" and "name" but it is very slow.
I've also the same java desktop app, if i put descendtree,ignoreisnotshowing it is really quick, but i need to automate the web java application. There is a way to put the same descendtree,ignoreisnotshowing also in web app java??

Thanks in advance

Hi,

The issue you have described here is a known issue when it comes to automating java web application through IE,

I will suggest trying to attach to a process called j2plauncher and see if that will speed up your process also please have a look at the following knowledge-based article which provides a different approach to interact with a java web based application.

Do I need to create an Object for a Java web based application?

Thanks for the reply @Benny Poumoko-Bafouatika,
i've tried to replace my application modeller to java-based automation and put inside process name "j2plauncher" without .exe, is that correct?
Thanks for the approach in the guide.

Hi,

We are also having same issue with our process.
It is a java application which resides inside internet explorer.

We are attaching to j2plauncher and able to interact with application using java.
But it is too slow and it takes around 45sec per element to interact.

Thanks

Hi @Efe Oral,
i'm able to attach the internet page without jp2launcher, but it's very slow automation.
For attach the jp2launcher, you've selected "Java based application" on application modeller and then put "jp2launcher" in process name?

Thanks

Hi @VratHimbo,

Yes, as you said Java Based Application is selected and "jp2launcher" is set in process name.

Thanks

Thanks @Efe Oral,

I'm waiting for some possible resolution from @Benny Poumoko-Bafouatika.

Thanks!

@Efe Oral in your case, if you're able to attach with java based application, have you tried to put "descendtree,ignorenotshowing" in the last field of your application modeller?

@VratHimbo it worked like a charm. 45 sec became around 3secs which is quite acceptable.
thanks a lot for the help.

here is what we do, hope this helps.
1) we setup object as java application
2) we first launch java application url on internet explorer (set internet explorer path to Path field and url to CommandLineParams field)
3) detach from internet explorer
4) attach to jp2launcher
5) detach from jp2launcher
6) attach back to internet explorer

after this we are able to interact with everything and speed problem is solved after "descendtree,ignorenotshowing" command.

Thanks for the help!
Just a confirm, you perform operation with java (button,check box, etc.) inside 3 & 4 step, so inside the attach jp2launcher?
My problem is: if i try to attach follow your step jp2launcher and try to highlight some java text button it doesn't find any match.

We do all operations after step 6.
It may look weird to do java operation after attaching to internet explorer but got this working after trial and error.
With this we are able to connect to java application that reside in internet explorer.

can you give it a try like this and tell me if it works for you too.
