Class MockContainer

java.lang.Object
  net.sf.click.MockContainer

public class MockContainer

extends Object

Provides a mock container for testing Click Pages.

Use the start() and stop() methods to control the life cycle of the container. Each call to start / stop instantiates new mock instances for the container.

To instantiate a container you must specify a web application directory where your page templates and other resources like images, javascript and stylesheets are available.

You can set the web application root to refer to your actual live project's web directory.

For example if you are busy developing a web application located under 'c:\dev\myapp\web', you can start the MockContainerTest as follows:

 public class MyTest extends junit.framework.TestCase {
     public void testMyPage() {
         MockContainer container = new MockContainer("c:/dev/myapp/web");
         container.start();

         container.setParameter("param", "one");
         MyPage page = (MyPage) container.testPage(MyPage.class);
         Assert.assertEquals("one", page.getParam());

         container.stop();
     }
 }
 

Together with a valid web application directory you also need to have the click.xml available, either in the WEB-INF/click.xml directory or on your classpath.

Taking the above example further, if your application is developed under 'c:\dev\myapp\web', click.xml would be available at 'WEB-INF\click.xml'. The full path would be 'c:\dev\myapp\web\WEB-INF\click.xml'.

Alternatively click.xml can also be specified on the classpath. For example you can save click.xml in your src folder eg: 'c:\dev\myapp\web\src\click.xml'. Below is an example click.xml to get up and running quickly:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
 <click-app charset="UTF-8">
   <pages package="com.mycorp.pages"/>
   <mode value="trace"/>
 </click-app>

start

public void start()

Starts the container and configure it for testing Page instances.

During configuration a full mock servlet stack is created consisting of:

• ClickServlet
• MockRequest
• MockResponse
• MockServletContext
• MockServletConfig
• MockSession
• MockContext

You can provide your own Mock implementations and set them on the container using the appropriate setter method for example: setRequest(net.sf.click.servlet.MockRequest).

Please note that you must set the mock objects on the container before calling start().

You also have full access to the mock objects after starting the container by using the appropriate getter method for example: getRequest().

Below is an example of how to start the container:

 public class TestPages extends junit.framework.TestCase {

     public void testAll() {
         String webApplicationDir = "c:/dev/app/web";
         MockContainer container = new MockContainer(webApplicationDir);

         container.start();
         ...
         container.stop();
     }
 }
 

See Also:

stop()

stop

public void stop()

Stops the container. The container cannot be used until start() is called again.

Please note that after each start / stop cycle the container is reconfigured with new mock instances. The mock instances from the previous test run is discarded.

start()

parameters - the request parameters

Returns:

the Page instance for the specified pageClass

See Also:

testPage(Class)

testPage

public Page testPage(Class pageClass)

This method simulates a browser requesting (GET) or submitting (POST) the url associated with the specified pageClass and request parameters.

The container forwards the request to ClickServlet for processing and returns the Page instance that was created.

Parameters:

pageClass - specifies the class of the Page to test

Returns:

the Page instance for the specified pageClass

testPage

public Page testPage(String path)

This method simulates a browser requesting (GET) or submitting (POST) the specified path.

Note: the path must have a leading slash '/' for example '/test.htm'. If the path does not begin with the '/' character it will automatically be added.

Parameters:

path - the page path

Returns:

a new Page instance for the specified path

See Also:

testPage(Class)

testPage

public Page testPage(String path,
                     Map parameters)

This method simulates a browser requesting (GET) or submitting (POST) the specified path and request parameters.

Note: the path must have a leading slash '/' for example '/test.htm'. If the path does not begin with the '/' character it will automatically be added.

Parameters:

path - the page path

parameters - the request parameters to set

Returns:

a new Page instance for the specified path

See Also:

testPage(Class)

getHtml

public String getHtml()

Returns the html output that was generated by HttpServletResponse.

Please note: if the Page invokes Page.setForward(Class) or Page.setRedirect(Class), this method will return blank.

The reason for this is that forward and redirect calls are only recorded, not executed.

The forward and redirect path's are only used for assertion purposes.

JSP templates is not supported by this method because a JSP template is always accessed through a Page.setForward(Class) call.

Returns:

the rendered html document

getForwardOrRedirectUrl

public String getForwardOrRedirectUrl()

Return the forward or redirect url as set by the Page.

Note: redirect url's inside this application will have their context path removed. This ensures that a forward or redirect to the same url will have the same value.

Returns:

either forward or redirect value.

getForward

public String getForward()

Return the path that Page forwarded to.

Returns:

the path that Page forwarded to

getForwardPageClass

public Class getForwardPageClass()

Return the Class that Page forwarded to.

Returns:

the class that Page forwarded to

getRedirect

public String getRedirect()

Return the path that Page redirected to.

Returns:

the path that Page redirected to

getRedirectPageClass

public Class getRedirectPageClass()

Return the Class that Page redirected to.
