The BrowserHawk4J JavaBean uses the maindefs.bdd file for its browser definition knowledge-base. This is different than the BrowserHawk ActiveX Component, which uses the maindefs.bdf file (bdf Vs. bdd).
If you wish to customize your browser definitions, it is therefore necessary for you to update your maindefs.bdd file. This file can only be updated by using the BrowserHawk Editor.
The BrowserHawk Editor is available for Windows platforms only. If you are using the BrowserHawk4J JavaBean on a non-Windows platform, then you can still use the BrowserHawk Editor under Windows to produce your new .bdd file, and then transfer the .bdd file to your environment where BrowserHawk4J is being used.
The BrowserHawk Editor works primarily with BDF files. You can load the cyScape maindefs.bdf file, make whatever changes you desire to it, and then save this BDF file for future use. When you want to customize your definitions again in the future, you then load your customized BDF file back into the Editor. Once you have a BDF file customized as desired, you simply export that BDF to BDD format, and copy your new BDD file over the existing one on the server used by your JavaBean. To export a BDD file from a BDF file, choose Export from the File menu.
Tip: Your license for BrowserHawk4J includes a license to run the BrowserHawk Editor on a separate machine. For example, if you purchased a single server license for BrowserHawk4J and are using that on a Solaris box, your license permits you to also install the BrowserHawk Editor on a separate Windows box so that you can view or modify your browser definitions.
