Is there a way to export from "GUI" to let's say Java ?
Hi all,
It's been a while I'm working on the basic edition of Screen-scraper. I'm planning to buy the entreprise version, but I want to switch to the "programming" side, using the scrape engine inside my own application.
My question is: since it's been a while I'm working with the basic edition and I've got a lot a work done, is there a way to export work I've done with the basic edition, the sessions, scripts, etc. So I could use it in the entreprise edition inside a Java environment for example ?
Thanks !
If I understand properly, you
If I understand properly, you want to break the data out of screen-scraper's internals and turn it into something that Java (using your example) could run by itself (making use of the SS engine)? In other words, to turn the scrapes into Java code?
I don't believe that there is a good automated way to do that... You might be forced to spend a little bit of time porting the code into actual Java.
On the other hand, you can easily export the scrapes into files that you may import into the enterprise edition, where they are fully functional, but with more methods (and such) available to you with the new 'enterprise' status. You could of course interface with the enterprise edition's scrapes at that point, without any trouble at all.
I'm a little shaky on understanding specifics of your question, so if I kind of missed the mark, just let me know :)
If you're looking for a tool to generate the Java code for you, then that might be an interesting idea for us to work on in the near future.
I think you understood most
I think you understood most of my point. English is not my first language so it's also possible I didn't make myself clear ;) .
I don't think it is possible to do it, but a nice feature to have in a future release would be to export a session (and his scripts) to a selected language, in my case: Java. So could you have the method call and everything behind the GUI, and integrate it in our own application, website, etc.
Like I said, it's been a couple weeks I'm working on a basic edition projects, but on the long term I plan to buy the entreprise edition, so I could use the SS libraries, so I could merge it into another applications, for examples...
As for your second point: I tried to import in the Entreprise version's trial a session I've built in the Basic Edition and it tells me that the session is not supported... Is it possible to import a basic session into an entreprise workspace ?
Thanks for your support !
