setValue() and test-framework

[Ian.Priest]

Hi,
 
I think i may have found a bug in the test-framework:
 
I'm have a ViewController that calls setValue() as part of it's
set-up...
 
 
    public class SignupViewController extends AbstractViewController {
 
         private static final String DIALOG_DATA = "#{dialog.data}";

         public String setup() {
 
              ...
 
              // Register the dialogData object for this dialog, and
continue
              setValue(DIALOG_DATA, dialogData);
              return SUCCESS;
 
         }

However, in my test-class the setValue() call causes a
NullPointerException. Here's my test...
 
public class SignupViewControllerTest extends
AbstractViewControllerTestCase {
 
     public static Test suite() {
        return (new TestSuite(SignupViewControllerTest.class));
     }
 
     SignupViewController vc = null;
 
     public void setUp() {
          super.setUp();
  
          vc = new SignupViewController();
     }
 
     public SignupViewControllerTest(String arg0) {
          super(arg0);
     }
 
     public void testSetup() {
  
          vc.setDialogData(new SignupData());
          // run setup
          vc.setup();
          ...
     }

Here's the stack trace
 
java.lang.NullPointerException

Anyone else come across this?
