I have a web application displaying information from various other external
applications. The initial page for the web app pops up a child window in which
an applet is started. This applet is contacted by the various other
applications whenever the state of the external application changes. The
applet then refreshes it's parent window, this effectively pushing the external
application's new state to the web app. Upshot: the applet stays open and
running across multiple pages in the web application. Problem: the
appletRunner tag appears require that applet execution finish before the rest
of the test will continue. So I can't see a way to 1) surf to the web app
page; 2) start the applet *and leave it running*; then 3) continue to other
pages in the web app.
Am I missing something obvious or is this not possible in the way webtest does
applets?
