I'm trying to implement a java program that will execute simple selenese commands with a local webdriver.
is there an API that gets a string such as "clickAndWait" and executes it? The WebDriverCommandProcessor class doesn't seem to do the trick.

What have you tried so far? Have you already seen this?: code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/GettingStartedqrazi– qrazi2013-01-29 07:46:11 +00:00Commented Jan 29, 2013 at 7:46

The WebDriver Java API is primarily the methods of WebDriver and WebElement. There is no method that takes a command string and executes it. But the Java API is a wrapper around another protocol, which is string-based. Check out the WebDriver WebDriver Wire Protocol, which is what a WebDriver language binding (client) uses to communicate with a WebDriver browser-driver (server). The commands do not map directly to "selenese" (the client language of Selenium IDE), but you can build the actions up to make them so.
