This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
The categories, milestones, etc in issuezilla can change from time to time. Therefore, in order to perform our bug logging integration, we need a way to dynamically load this information from issuezilla. This could be implemented by parsing HTML forms code out of the web page, or by some other means.
working on this...
Progress on this task to date: (1) HTTPForm.java is an object which submits forms. This has been tested and works. (2) form_parser.jj is a parser which parses an HTML page and recognises any such forms which are present in the page. These are the two pieces of functionality required to complete this task. However, the task can not yet be closed, because there are two things left to do. First, hook the parser and the form object together, so that the parser can construct HTTPForms for the forms it recognises. This should only be a couple of hours work. Second, write a test case which proves that the functionality provided is sufficient to meet the goal (IE that downloads the choices from an IssueZilla page).
HTTPForm has been modified to use the parser. The parser has had a method added for the use of the form. Now the productions in the grammar need to create the values to be returned. Estimated time to complete this task: * add java code to grammar productions to create the HTTPForms 2 hours. * write testcase to demonstrate accessing issuezilla 2 hours. * tidy-up and small fixes as needed to get testcase working 4 hours. Total 8 hours. Should be complete by end of 04/25/2002 (Pacific time).
code checked in. tested against simpler forms than IZ contains, but should work with maybe a little grammar tweaking. IZ test case will be created as part of 21892.
