How to record a Java Web Start Application using Rational Functional Tester

Question

We are trying to register some navigation to a Java Web Start application ( .jnlp ). Following the instructions reported in the last post of this discussion , we were able to configure properly the application to start using the Application Configuration Tool .

After executing the record session, using Insert Recording into Active Functional Test Script button, the recorder does not react to any of our actions (ie click a button, select a combo, focus on a text area, and so on...).

Is there some plugin to install inside the RFT Studio to enable Java Application recording? Clearly, we are missing something: could someone link us a tutorial or some other equivalent resource?

We are using IBM Rational Functional Tester ver. 8.2.1.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I think the jre being used by jnlp application should be enabled for RFT to be able to recognize the controls. If JRE is enabled then it does not really matter if the application is jnlp or standalone.
