Is there some way to process a response from an iframe with JSF/RF?

[edilmar]

Hi,

My env is GlassFish3.1.1 + JSF2.1 + RF4.3.2.

I have a JSF page with a iframe embbeded that calls an external page.

This external page is to type a value + captcha and to return some "useful information" for my app.

Then, I would like a way to "get this returned data" (in HTML format) to extract the "useful information".

The problem is "get this returned data"... I don't know if there is some RF component or until a Javascript

manual way to do this.

I found the problem: there is a security restriction disabling XSS attacks.

Then, I won't get to process returned data using iframe.

I tried also to use HttpClient or HtmlUnit to process internally the captcha,

save the image in the server HD, and to call the destination form with value

+ captcha (typed in a field manually), without success.

Hey Edilmar,

is there any specific reason why to use Captcha from an remote server?

Couldn't you just generate it on your server?

I can imagine Seam's Captcha [1] will work pretty nice with <a4j:mediaOutput /> [2].

The problem is... the other site with captcha is not mine, it is a government site, that allows public search of enterprises data (like address, etc), but there is not something like a webservice, to allow programs like mine to search these data automatically.

You can use PhantomJSDriver as a close to real implementation of headless browser.

The similar issue is addressed here - that guy is trying to use PhantomJSDRiver from servlet.
