Hi Catherine,
The beginXXX() method is executed on the client side so that's normal you
wouldn't get anything there (actually the request objet si null on the
client side).
However it should work ok in the testXXX() method. However, you'll have to
use ServletTestRequest.setURL() method in your beginXXX() method to simulate
the URL you would like to get when using request.getQueryString() and other
methods. If you don't do this, you'll get the values from the Redirector
servlet. This is why it is strange you get a null ...
Here is an example (also available as part of the sample application that is
in the distribution) :
public void beginSimulatedURL5(ServletTestRequest theRequest)
{
theRequest.setURL("jakarta.apache.org", "/catalog",
"/help/feedback.jsp", null,
"PARAM1=param1&PARAM2=&PARAM3=param3");
}
public void testSimulatedURL5()
{
assertEquals("jakarta.apache.org", request.getServerName());
assertEquals("/catalog/help/feedback.jsp", request.getRequestURI());
assertEquals(80, request.getServerPort());
assertEquals("/catalog", request.getContextPath());
assertEquals("/help/feedback.jsp", request.getServletPath());
assert(request.getPathInfo() == null);
assertEquals("PARAM1=param1&PARAM2=&PARAM3=param3",
request.getQueryString());
assertEquals(request.getParameter("PARAM1"), "param1");
assertEquals(request.getParameter("PARAM2"), "");
assertEquals(request.getParameter("PARAM3"), "param3");
}
Hope it helps.
Thanks
