I don't know what Robot class you referenced.
As I know, there is a class java.awt.robot, which can locate a swing frame
by a title name and
the widgets(button, check button) in the frame. So I think it's different
from your 'Robot'.

You mention again something I meant to mention earlier.
...

No, there is no such thing. By Sun's common
nomenclature, you would be referring to a package
if mentioning a lower case 'r'.

My entire earlier replies were based on the
assumption that you actually meant..
'java.awt.Robot' (note the capital 'R').

As following code,
Frame jframe=getFrame("test");;
JButton jbtn=getButton(jframe,"jButton1");


I regard jframe as a handler of the Frame.

..and (java.awt.)Robot was the class that alex.from.ohio
was writing about.

OK - sure. The AppletViewer itself will generally
have an 'unknown and inscrutable' name. But this
is where the intermediate 'testing' applet comes
into play (did I mention that before?).

It works like this.

A 'womb' applet loads the applet we need to test.

The womb applet is loaded in applet viewer and
thereafter loads the applet we want to test, but
it has important roles. One of them would be to
obtain a reference to the (J)Frame that is the
AppletViewer.

This allows the loader applet to set the title of
the frame to something that the Robot can identify.

Once that reference is obtained, you might handle
the testing in the 'normal way', though perhaps
with some slight variation,s given the Test applet
is an applet hosted within another applet.

Sorry for my typo and also for my misunderstanding.
Alex is right.

Then is there any appropriate way to automate testing
the applet?

Thank you.
In this case FEST may also work.

Is there any way without loading applet by AppletViewer?
That is, the applet shall be loaded by the browser.

Thanks a lot.
