 Hello,

 

 I am trying to use the Shale testing framework in order to test how 

 ActionEvents can be trapped and manager.

 

 I am using the AbstractJsfTestCase as my extension for my test case.

 

 What I am trying to do is mimic the generation of the action event, 

 and then process asserts around that.

 

 

 After calling super.setUp()  I have done the following:

 

 // create the view

UIForm parent = new HtmlForm();

 

parent.setId("form1");

parent.setParent(facesContext.getViewRoot());

 

// Add the components to the HTML Form

button = new UICommand();

button.setId("button1");

button.setParent(parent);

 

 

UIData table = new UIData();

table.setId("myTable");

table.setParent(parent);

 

 In my testMethod() I am performing the following:

 

 ActionEvent eventFC = new ActionEvent(button);

 

 assertNotNull("Action Event was returned null - expected an object",
eventFC);

 

 UIComponent comp= eventFC. getComponent();

 

 comp= button.findComponent("myTable");

 

 assertNotNull("UIComponent was returned null directly from button -
expected an object", comp);

 

 The call to find the component by name (myTable) returns a null object
- is there a way using this framework to simulate something like what I
am attempting?

 

Thanks for any advice!
