Examples: Creating a simple ProxyObject

This example explains how to create a simple ProxyObject.

About this task

To create, build, and deploy the ProxyObject class:

Procedure

Create a ProxyObject class using one of the following methods:

Create a JFormattedTextFieldProxy ProxyObject in Java™ extended from the Rational® Functional Tester Java domain proxy, com.rational.test.ft.domain.java.jfc.JTextProxy. For example type the following code to create JFormattedTextFieldProxy.java:

package proxysdk.samples.java;

import com.rational.test.ft.domain.java.jfc.JTextProxy;

/**
 * @author administrator
 *
 * TODO To change the template for this generated type comment go to
 * Window - Preferences - Java - Code Generation - Code and Comments
 */
public class JFormattedTextFieldProxy extends JTextProxy
{
	/**
	 * Sets the SUT object
	 * as a member variable for the proxy.  All interactions with the
	 * supplied object are performed through this class. 
	 */
	public JFormattedTextFieldProxy(Object theObjectInTheSUT)
	{
		super(theObjectInTheSUT) ;
	}
     
          /* 
           *  TODO:  Override more ProxyObject Methods here
           */
}

Create a MaskedTextProxy ProxyObject in C# extended from the Rational® Functional Tester .Net domain proxy, Rational.Test.Ft.Domain.Net.TextBoxProxy. For example type the following code to create MaskedTextProxy.cs:

using Rational.Test.Ft.Domain;
using Rational.Test.Ft.Domain.Net;

namespace ProxySDK.Samples.Net
{
	/// <summary>
	/// Summary description for MaskedTextProxy.
	/// </summary>
	public class MaskedTextProxy:TextBoxProxy
	{
		public MaskedTextProxy(NetTestDomainImplementation domain,
			IChannel channel,
			System.Object theTestObject): base( domain, channel, theTestObject)
		{
		}
		//
		// TODO: Override more ProxyObject Methods here
		//
	}
}

Create a StatusBarProxy ProxyObject in C# extended from the Rational® Functional Tester Win domain proxy, Rational.Test.Ft.Domain.Win.GenericProxy. For example type the following code to create StatusBarProxy.cs:

using Rational.Test.Ft.Domain;
using Rational.Test.Ft.Domain.Win;

namespace ProxySDK.Samples.Win
{
	/// <summary>
	/// Summary description for StatusBarProxy.
	/// </summary>
	public class StatusBarProxy:GenericProxy
	{
		public StatusBarProxy(WinTestDomainImplementation domain,
			IChannel channel,
			IWinControl theAUTControl): base( domain, channel, theAUTControl)
		{
			//
			// TODO: Add constructor logic here
			//
		}
	}
}

Build the ProxyObject binary files using build commands.
- For Java, the compiled binary output is a JAR file, for example JFormattedTextFieldProxy.jar.
- For .Net, the compiled binary output is a .Net assembly, for example MaskedTextProxy.dll or StatusBarProxy.dll.

Map the ProxyObject classes to the AUT control classes in the Rational® Functional Tester customization file (a .rftcust file) using one of the following methods:

Specify a mapping entry under the Java domain to use the proxysdk.samples.java.JFormattedTextFieldProxy ProxyObject for the javax.swing.JFormattedTextField control. For example, type the following code to create JFormattedTextFieldProxy.rftcust:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ConfigFile L=".ConfigFile">
	<Section L=".ConfigFileSection">
		<Name>proxies</Name>
		<Val L=".ProxyManager">
			<DomainImplementation L=".DomainImplementation">
				<Name>Java</Name>
				<Obj L=".Proxy">
					<ClassName>proxysdk.samples.java.JFormattedTextFieldProxy</ClassName>
					<Replaces/>	
					<UsedBy>javax.swing.JFormattedTextField</UsedBy>
				</Obj>				
			</DomainImplementation>
		</Val>
	</Section>
</ConfigFile>

With this mapping, Rational® Functional Tester creates a JFormattedTextFieldProxy instance for every JFormattedTextField Java UI control found.

Specify a mapping entry under the .Net domain to use the ProxySDK.Samples.Net.MaskedTextProxy ProxyObject for the System.Windows.Forms.MaskedTextBox .Net control implemented in the [System.Windows.Forms] .Net assembly. For example, type the following code to create MaskedTextProxy.rftcust:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ConfigFile L=".ConfigFile">
	<Section L=".ConfigFileSection">
		<Name>proxies</Name>
		<Val L=".ProxyManager">
			<DomainImplementation L=".DomainImplementation">
				<Name>NET</Name>
				<Obj L=".Proxy">
					<ClassName>[MaskedTextBoxProxy]ProxySDK.Samples.Net.MaskedTextProxy </ClassName>
					<Replaces/>	
					<UsedBy>[System.Windows.Forms]System.Windows.Forms.MaskedTextBox</UsedBy>
				</Obj>				
			</DomainImplementation>
		</Val>
	</Section>
</ConfigFile>

Note: Specify assembly names with [] while specifying .Net control class names.

Specify a mapping entry under the Win domain to use the [StatusBarProxy]ProxySDK.Samples.Win.StatusBarProxy ProxyObejct for the StatusBar20WndClass Win control. For example, type the following code to create StatusBarProxy.rftcust:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ConfigFile L=".ConfigFile">
	<Section L=".ConfigFileSection">
		<Name>proxies</Name>
		<Val L=".ProxyManager">
			<DomainImplementation L=".DomainImplementation">
				<Name>Win</Name>
				<Obj L=".Proxy">
					<ClassName>[StatusBarProxy]ProxySDK.Samples.Win.StatusBarProxy</ClassName>
					<Replaces/>
					<UsedBy>STATUSBAR20WNDCLASS</UsedBy>
				</Obj>				
			</DomainImplementation>
		</Val>
	</Section>
</ConfigFile>

Specify mapping entries for all ProxyObjects in a combined customization file.

Note: You must specify the proxy mappings in their respective

<DomainImplementation
L=".DomainImplementation">

section

For example, type the following code to create combined.rftcust:

<ConfigFile L=".ConfigFile">
	<Section L=".ConfigFileSection">
		<Name>proxies</Name>
		<Val L=".ProxyManager">

                           <!--  Add DomainImplementation section for each domain --> 

                           <DomainImplementation L=".DomainImplementation">
				<Name>Java</Name>
				<Obj L=".Proxy">
					<ClassName>proxysdk.samples.java.JFormattedTextFieldProxy</ClassName>
					<Replaces/>	
					<UsedBy>javax.swing.JFormattedTextField</UsedBy>
				</Obj>	
                                     <!--  Add <Obj L=".Proxy"> section here for each Java proxy mapping  --> 
 			
			</DomainImplementation>

                           <DomainImplementation L=".DomainImplementation">
				<Name>NET</Name>
				<Obj L=".Proxy">
					<ClassName>[MaskedTextBoxProxy]ProxySDK.Samples.Net.MaskedTextProxy </ClassName>
					<Replaces/>	
					<UsedBy>[System.Windows.Forms]System.Windows.Forms.MaskedTextBox</UsedBy>
				</Obj>		
                                     <!--  Add <Obj L=".Proxy"> section here for each .NET proxy mapping  --> 
		
			</DomainImplementation>

			<DomainImplementation L=".DomainImplementation">
				<Name>Win</Name>
				<Obj L=".Proxy">
					<ClassName>[StatusBarProxy]ProxySDK.Samples.Win.StatusBarProxy</ClassName>
					<Replaces/>
					<UsedBy>STATUSBAR20WNDCLASS</UsedBy>
				</Obj>	
                                    <!--  Add <Obj L=".Proxy"> section here for each Win proxy mapping  --> 
			
			</DomainImplementation>
		</Val>
	</Section>
</ConfigFile>

For any syntax or usage clarification, see the customization file rational_ft.rftcust in C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP70\FunctionalTester\bin. This file contains mapping entries for all ProxyObjects that are delivered with Rational® Functional Tester.

Deploy the proxy binary files, for example JFormattedTextFieldProxy.jar, MaskedTextProxy.dll, and StatusBarProxy.dll and the corresponding customization files by copying them to the Rational® Functional Tester customization directory, C:\ProgramData\IBM\RFT\customization.
Restart Rational® Functional Tester.
