[arquillian-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (ARQ-666) Redesign WebDriver browser configuration

[Karel Piwko (Commented) (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-666?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12645945#comment-12645945 ] 

Karel Piwko commented on ARQ-666:
---------------------------------

We have two constraints here:

* We need to be able to switch between different WebDriver impls using arquillian.xml only
* We need to know that some property is not valid for certain type of the browser

My idea here is to have a single backing class which will allow user to define all the properties and restrict that via a list of interfaces which corresponds to a specific drivers.

This means that:

User can specify anything he wants for <extension qualifier="webdriver">

And than use @Drone WebDriver driver; to get the instance specified by implementationClass.

On the other way, if he says @Drone FirefoxDriver, the list of available system properties will be restricted (e.g. a warning will be logged that is have no effect on the current browser type)

> Current binding of browser type to the type defined in the class itself limits the usage of generic WebDriver drivers.
> This means that you can simply change WebDriver type by configuration, you have to modify Java code. The usage should be modified to implementationClass be the property which decides what instance will be used even for generic webdrivers.
