Well the deal is I haven't used Java for a few years now. (Not that I am not averse to it. ) I wanted the right tool for the job. The idea was to test whether the website was up or down and if it was up, then go ahead and test out some of the functionality. Some of the results were to be logged into an Oracle table. (The big fellas would like to do some reporting via Cognos).

Now I have used perl for a while now and am conversant with DBI and other helper modules that can get the job done... so it might be a quicker path to solve the problem... of course if Abbot is indeed the right tool to test the as compared to Win32::GuiTest, then would rather put in the effort to learn it.
