Submiting HTML Forms with JavaFX Webview

ttiltMar 6 2013 — edited Mar 27 2013
I've long been searching for a good web robot framework. And I also need a gui for my robot.

So w/ the advent of JAVAFX Webengine it seemed my needs have been met finally. Specially because on the webview tutorial here , Alla Redko says: "+It supports user interaction such as navigating links *and submitting HTML forms*+".

But after looking at the api it doesn't seem that webengine supports submiting forms, only loading pages w/ the load() method. I guess I could populate the form fields and submit them w/ executeScript() but that's just sloppy.

Is there a way to actually submit forms w/ webengine? Are there plans to implement this feature, analogous to the load() method?

Thanks,
JC
