You can switch to Java scripting to insert Java code to
perform additional operations such as extending an API or functions
that cannot be performed directly in the simplified script editor.
To use both the simplified script and Java scripting, you must use
the Insert Java Code Snippet or Insert Java Method feature that is
available in the simplified script editor and switch to Java scripting.
If you modify the Java script directly without using these features,
the Java script changes are lost and the simplified script runs during
playback.
Use the Insert Java Method feature to insert a method to logically
group the lines of code. You can call the Java method from different
locations in the script using the Java Code Snippet feature.
Use the Insert Java Code Snippet feature to insert a few lines
of code.
When you insert Java custom code, a test line in the simplified
script editor indicates that Java code or a Java module is inserted
in the Java script editor. The Java code snippets are added between
the test lines as indicated in the simplified script editor. A block
of comments is added in the Java script editor, indicating the start
and the end points for adding the Java code. The Java method is added
at the end of the Java script. During playback, the Java code snippets
and the Java method are run.
Note: If you have generated simplified
scripts and switch to Java scripting mode permanently, you can edit
the Java code outside the start and the end points and continue working
with Java scripting. Ensure that you do not edit the simplified scripts.
All the changes in the Java code are lost and the updated simplified
script is run during playback.
