Challenge Overview
The client is looking for a tool, which would allow them to analyze web-browser embedded portlets. A portlet is a self-contained user-interface area in a browser, which acts like a gadget or a widget. A user can move the portlet around to customize its placement in the browser, as well as customize the internal elements of the portlet (for example change the information in it such as its configuration.)
A portlet acts as a visual container, which logically and physically isolates specific GUI elements and the specific functionality into a well-defined boundary. One could imagine a user home page being built as a set of portlets such as a weather portlet, a calendar portlet, notifications portlet, etc. with each portlet having a specific GUI and a specific placement in the user’s home page.
This design is supposed to provide such a swing GUI tool that will be able to scan a browser instance and extract detailed information about the portlets that are currently being run in the browser.
The PortletScanMainFrame keep PortletScanPanel which will allow user to input the scan criteria, including the target url of the webpage, the element to be scanned and the scan log file name. After user click the start scan button, the scan window would show.The PortletScanWindow will show the webpage and allow the user to draw scan box on the page to scan the selected area. If user click start scan button again in the window, the log dialog will show the scan log information.
