Determining the values of cells in a table

When working with Java™ or HTML tables, you might want to extract the value of a given cell in the table. There are many ways to do this; one simple approach is to query the table directly.

The example shows how to create custom Java™ code that exploits the Functional Test object model to extract the information from a table. The sample first uses the getTestData method to have Rational® Functional Tester return a TestDataTable object that contains all of the data in the table. Given this data table, the getRowCount and getColumnCount methods determine the size of the table. Finally, with these numbers, the code cycles through each cell and uses the getCell method to determine the contents of each cell in the table. The values in the cells display in the console window.
