The web application allows users to upload N files to a temporary store on our application server. When they like the way everything got uploaded & tagged, they click "submit" and it dumps a message on a JMS queue for asynchronous processing at some later time. If the user uploads 5 of 7 files and the goes and gets some coffee, his session will timeout. We want to listen for that event and delete all the files he's uploaded. The ASO I'm interested in is just a java.lang.String that is the name of the temporary directory he's uploaded the 5 files to. We store the temp dir in the ASO because it's needed by several pages in the flow of the app and because it needs to be accessed by the Session Listener, which isn't a "Tapestry page". I'm trying to write a unit test to verify that when the session listener notices a session timeout, it can grab that String and delete any files it finds under the directory. Any suggestions on how to really test that?

A session event doesn't happen during the processing of a request, necessarily. So, that's why you're getting the NPE. You're right, there's not much you can do about that, even in your production environment this will fail. What are you trying to clean up when the session is destroyed? The references to the objects in the session will be cleaned up automatically for you. You don't have db connections (or something similar) in there as ASOs, do you? ASOs should really just be "state" (data). Your HiveMind services would act upon that state by using the ASM to lookup your ASOs. So, the cleanup of the data should be easily handled by the garbage collector. Do you have a special use case with legacy code or something that requires you to put heavyweight objects into the session that require special cleanup? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 11, 2006 1:50 PM To: user@hivemind.apache.org Subject: RE: How do JUnit test programmatic access of the Registry? Hi Achim, Thanks for the interest. First of all, the "getHivemindRegistry()" method walks up the object tree of an HttpSessionevent object to grab a hivemind Registry object. This is not the cause of the NPE, but since you asked. . . . static final String REGISTRY_KEY_PREFIX = "org.apache.tapestry.Registry"; static final String SERVLET_NAME = "edis3-efile"; static final String ATTRIBUTE = REGISTRY_KEY_PREFIX + ":" + SERVLET_NAME; Registry getHivemindRegistry(HttpSessionEvent event) { HttpSession session = event.getSession(); ServletContext servletContext = session.getServletContext(); Registry registry = (Registry)servletContext.getAttribute(ATTRIBUTE); return registry; } I've attached the NPE stack trace below. But here's my understanding of it, which is why my initial email was basically a question about "how do I insert an ASO?" 1) The call to getASO() gets the Registry using the code above 2) The call to manager.exists(asoName) executes this code: public boolean exists(String objectName) { return _stateObjects.containsKey(objectName) || _registry.get(objectName).exists(); } 3) The _stateObjects.... check fails (it shouldn't, as far as I'm concerned), so it calls _registry.get(objectName).exists() 4) The .get(objectName).exists() is: public boolean exists() { return _persistenceManager.exists(_name); } 5) The .exists(_name) method is: public boolean exists(String objectName) { WebSession session = _request.getSession(false); if (session == null) return false; return session.getAttribute(buildKey(objectName)) != null; } 6) The NPE is on the _request.getSession(false) call. . . .the _request (class is WebRequest) is null, and I don't know what I can do about that. Thanks in advance!

Where do you get NullPointerExceptions? Could you post a stack trace? How does getHivemindRegistry work?
