[Htmlunit-user] Map <bject> to custom JavaClass

[smk s. <ste...@gm...>]

The question also posted by me at StackOverflow and is the following:


I am using HtmlUnit and I am trying to provide custom implementation for
ActiveXObjects. Although I can provide custom implementation when an
ActiveObject is called through javascript by name e.g.

var wmi = new ActiveXObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7");

I cannot do the same when the object is declared with its classid like

<object id="PlayerEx2"
classid="clsid:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" height="200"
width="200">

I have found these threads
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.htmlunit.general/3894 and
http://sourceforge.net/p/htmlunit/bugs/691/ that describe the same problem.

Also it appears that it can be done using

client.setHtmlObjectMap(htmlObjectToJavaMapping);

however, I am using htmlunit 2.13 and I cannot find this method.

Additionally I know that i could use jacob (java-com bridge) but jacob
communicates with existing/installed com-objects. I wish to provide my own
mock implementations.

I could not find any other information on the subject. Could you please
guide me on how this could be done?
