Unable to test chained actions

Matt Stine — Wed, 27 Aug 2003 14:49:09 -0000

I am using the command pattern in a web application for
online ordering. Each command sent to the Servlet is
delegated to a command handler.

Currently I have a passing unit test for a
SaveOrderHandler and an EditOrderHandler. What I
want to do is chain these two actions together, so that
a user can save an order they are currently working on
and then edit another one w/ only one click.

To do this, I have written a test for a command handler
called SaveThenEditOrderHandler...what it does is call
the SaveOrderHandler, check a request attribute to see
if the save succeeded, and then calls EditOrderHandler.

These two requests share some common request/session
parameters/attributes. The behavior that I am seeing is
that the first command handler executes successfully.
Open entering the second command handler, any
attempt to access request/session
parameters/attributes that is shares with the first
handler fail with a message such as:

junit.framework.AssertionFailedError:
parameters.orderType has run out of objects.

If I am reading this correctly, any objects stored in the
request/session objects can must be accessed once and
only once. Is this true? And if so, is there another way
to implement this test?

Thanks!

MockHttpServletRequest getHeader() not API compliant

Gael Marziou — Thu, 14 Aug 2003 16:00:02 -0000

MockHttpServletRequest version 1.18 (J2EE 1.3), the
getHeader() method should not throw an AssertFailError
when the requested header is not present because the
javadoc for this method says:

If the request did not include a header of the specified
name, this method returns null.

So, with the current behavior I cannot test my code
error handling when request.getHeader() returns null on
not existing header.

Or maybe there is a way to disable this assertion
checking?

Thanks for any help

Can you please provide some information about the new dynamic
objects support? How to use them, what are they best suited
for?
