Yes, using selenium I can test the functionality.
Actually I was using Spring Testing framework to write unit testcases for my
custom tags which actually renders html code.
for example i have a tag soemthing like this:
public class TextFieldTag extends TagSupport{
private String name;
private HttpServletResponse response;
// A setter for an attribute that will be set in the custom tag
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getName() {
return this.name;
}
protected int doStartTagInternal() throws Exception {
JspWriter out = pageContext.getOut();
try {
out.print("<html>");
out.print("<input type=\"text\" name="+getName()+"
disabled=\"true\"/>");
out.print("</html>");
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return SKIP_BODY;
}
}
For this i can write a test case to test doStartTagInternal() something like
this:
public void testDoStartTag() throws Exception{
String expectedOutput = "<html><input type=\"text\" name=test1
disabled=\"true\"/></html>";
someCustomTag=new TextFieldTag();
someCustomTag.setName("test1");
someCustomTag.setPageContext(mockPageContext);
int tagReturnValue = someCustomTag.doStartTagInternal();
String output = ((MockHttpServletResponse)
mockPageContext.getResponse()).getContentAsString();
assertEquals("Tag should return 'SKIP_BODY'", TagSupport.SKIP_BODY,
tagReturnValue);
assertEquals(expectedOutput, output);
}
I tried the same approach of testing a class which extends PutAttribute
class. But this is not working.
Whether tiles tag renders html code?
