JavaDDA

The JavaDDA that is shipped with CCF 2009 SP1 uses Java accessibility to get access to Java UI elements. To use the JavaDDA you need to have the JavaAccessibility Bridge for Windows installed. For more information see the Java requirements in the CCF Installation Guide.

The JavaDDA defines three control types JAccControl, JAccSelector and JAccTree. Each control tag must have a name attribute that specifies the name of the control used in Automation Activities.

Note

Java AWT applications are not fully supported in the HAT. You must configure the AWT applications with the WinDDA and run as regular Win 32 apps. The WinDDA uses Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA) to access the applications controls. Some AWT controls may not be fully compatible with MSAA and so may not function properly. The Java DDA is not supported for use with Windows Server 2008. To access Java AWT controls, you can use tools such as Java Ferret and Java Monkey.
