A Framework for Event-Driven Demonstration based on the Java Toolkit

An event-driven demonstration is to show the behavior of an application by re-executing the captured events. It is used to provide help regarding how an application works because it can show typical behaviors in an effective way. Such help functions are needed in Java applets, which are carried out by everyone using a Web browser. In this paper, we describe a framework in which we can execute the event-driven demonstrations of Java applets. We have developed "Jedemo" recorder and player. The Jedemo recorder captures the occurring events while the applet is running. To make the demonstration more efficient and understandable, the developer can add index and messages to the captured events. Then Jedemo player reexecutes the captured events showing also the indexes and messages that were added to them. Jedemo recorder and player suit for almost all applets. They are implemented as applets. The developer can integrate his applet with Jedemo player without any trouble. This frame...
