Hi Jon,
A few general remarks first :) (we'll tackle the hard problems just after
... )
* The beginXXX() methods are optional so if you don't use it, you can simply
remove it from the test, making it more readable
* If you're testing for a positive response, like a doPost that executes
correctly, you shouldn't try to catch a possible error in a try/catch block.
Just let the exception be bounced up in the call stack. It will eventually
be picked up by the JUnit test runner. Again, this is to make it easier to
read a test and guess it's intent.
Ok, now the hard part ...
It actually looks quite strange. The line that seems to cause problem seems
to be the following from ServletTestCaller.java (although I am not sure as I
may be using a newer version than yours)
" ServletTestResult result =
(ServletTestResult)theObjects.m_Config.getServletContext().getAttribute(TEST
_RESULTS);"
This line could return a null value if the attribute is not set but I don't
see how it could return an object of a type different than a
ServletTestResult unless :
* The getAtrtibute(TEST_RESULTS) calls returns a java object that is not a
ServletTestResult but as TEST_RESULTS is declared as 'private final static
String TEST_RESULTS = "ServletTestRedirector_TestResults";', I don't see how
this value could have been overwritten ...
No, sorry, I don't get it ... Could you try to trim your class under test
and your test class so that it contains minimum code (remove any unnecessary
code) that still triggers the error. Once done, could you send it to the
list ?
Thanks.
Vincent.
