Creating Connectors

Writing connectors is donkey work, but it's the critical component of Black Ink. Without connectors, it's just another RCP Sample Application.

• Save the login page of the bank you're connecting to.
• Parse the page with [htmlparser] for

  <form>

  tags, extracting the

  <input>

  tags into a NodeList.
  • An interesting (though not necessarily timesaving) way to test your parsing filters is to run the FilterBuilder:

    java -cp htmlparser.jar org.htmlparser.parserapplications.filterbuilder.FilterBuilder

• Replace the login input values (account number, pin, etc) with application-supplied data.
