Re: [actf-dev] Validation Rules in Java 
Hi Kentarou,

proxy.eclipse.org (port 443) works OK, thanks for the instructions.
I checked out complete org.eclipse.actf project. I haven't tried to build aDesigner but I will try and let you know how it goes. 

Regards,
Yeliz.

Hi Yeliz,
aDesigner is an example tool that uses several ACTF components. So, you need to checkout not only examples.adesigner but also other plugins. Here 
is the instruction for creating your workspace for aDesigner.
http://www.eclipse.org/actf/downloads/tools/aDesigner/build.php

Current version of aDesigner supports WCAG 1.0, Section 508 and JIS
(Japanese Web accessibility guideline). Most of check logic are in the
org.eclipse.actf.examples.adesigner.eval.html plugin. So, you can start 
from this plugin.

As for the time out issue, ssh connection is sometimes blocked at the
Firewall.
Would you please try to use proxy.eclipse.org (port 443) for extssh
connection?
The detailed instruction is available at the CVS howto page below.
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/ CVS_Howto#extssh_CVS_Setup_using_a_Firewall
If you can connect by using port 443, I'll create the psf file for this 
setting and upload it to instruction page.
If you can't connect to the server by using both of default port (22) and port 443, we need to ask Eclipse WebMaster about this. In this case, I'll 
provide additional instructions.

Best regards,
Kentarou

Hi Kentarou,

This sounds really good.

Can you give me more information about this? For example, what would
be the best place to start with? Does aDesigner already implement
some accessibility guidelines?

In your email to Eleni, you have mentioned that the complete
aDesigner code is in Actf now, is it all under this:
org.eclipse.actf.examples.adesigner?

Is this the part, where I should start looking for validating HTML
pages: org.eclipse.actf.examples.adesigner.eval.html?

Today I am not sure why but I could not checkout the code from the
CVS repository as a committer (I get time out error :(). However, I
can browse the code as an anonymous user. Do you know if there is
something wrong with the server?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Yeliz.

Hi Yeliz,

Sorry for this late response.

Yesterday, I asked Mike to provide an instruction about this.
Please wait some more.

In org.eclipse.actf.examples.adesigner.eval.html project, HTML
check logic
in Java code that used in aDesigner is available. I think you can
refer
(and reuse) these
logic to implement validation rules.

Best regards,
Kentarou

Would it be possible to get the source code where we can write our
own validation rules in Java? Your guidance also on how to write
these rules is very much appreciated.

Yeliz.

I'm copying the entire ACTF dev list to encourage everyone to use
it. We are evaluated as an eclipse project, in part, based on our
user/commiter interest as partially expressed in the email
archives. Also, this is a good way to share common questions and
answers with the entire ACTF community.

As to your questions...
1. The IBM Rule-based Accessibility Validation Environment (RAVEN)
is no longer supported as its functionality will be included in the 
ACTF validation components. You are right in that Webelo, the web
validation componentry, is not yet a part of ACTF; this commit will 
start in 2Q. The Java Validation Componentry (Javaco) will be
available very soon, most likely by week's end. It is, once again,
the IBM accessibility checklists that are included in the
validation documents. We are working on documentation for authors
who wish to write their own validation documents.

2. You can, of course, write your own validation document and, in
many cases, you will be required to write some jython in order to
do any type of sophisticated validation beyond what's supported in
the markup. The new release of this code supports javascript rather than jython and also a way to implement your own rules in Java. The 
API has changed significantly and continues to evolve. I cannot
provide full support for authoring a validation document for RAVEN, 
but I can answer specific questions as to how to implement rules.

Fwd: ACTF Meeting at CSUN 2008: Friday, March 14





Hi Michael,

I am contacting you from University of Manchester. In our
project, we
would like to mainly use webelo component. We have downloaded RAVEN 
and have been using it for a while. We have a number of questions
though:

As far as we can see with the latest version of RAVEN (Web
application validation part), you can only validate pages against
IBM
accessibility checklist which is encoded in the validation document 
"mozweb_accessibility.xml". In our project we are interested in
validating pages against a set of guidelines which will be a kind of sub-set of WCAG so it seems like we need to create our own rulebase. However, by looking at the documentation of RAVEN, it seems like we 
need to write scripts to do the validation? Is that right? or is
there an alternative/easier way of adding new rules/rulebases? What 
would be the best way to encode our rules? Would it be better to
download the source code from actf project (but it seems like Webelo 
component is not available) and start from there? or would it be
enough just to add our rulebase?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,
Yeliz

Subject: ACTF Meeting at CSUN 2008: Friday, March 14
Importance: High


Dear Friends & Colleagues:

Since the formal approval of the ACTF project by the Eclipse
Foundation, Chieko, Kentarou and I have been formalizing all
the ACTF paperwork with the Eclipse Foundation, including the
approval process for individual committers. The process has
taken us much longer than expected but we are happy to
announce that everything will be complete by the time the
CSUN 2008 conference begins.

Chieko and I would like to invite you to a special meeting of
the ACTF membership immediately following our presentation
the conference. The ACTF session presentation schedule is as
follows:

Session ID: WWW-3004
Session Theme: The Accessibility Tools Framework (ACTF)
Initiative Friday, March 14, 2008 - 9:20 - 10:20 AM Marriott
- Meridian One

We are currently working on the location of this meeting. At
the moment, we would like to get an idea of how many of you
would be able to attend a one hour organizational meeting?


Regards and thank you,

Chieko Asakawa, ACTF Co-Lead
Mike Paciello, ACTF Co-Lead
