How do we provide conversationId for unit testing?

[thejavafreak]

Dear all,

When I marked my method with @Conversational and then unit test it, I get No conversation exists exception. Now how do we provide a mock conversation to be used for unit testing? Is it possible?

Thanks in advance

Several examples do that, look at the /wiki example.

Hi Christian,

Thanks for the hint. I've created an example to be used for integration testing http://joshuajava.wordpress.com/2008/01/25/providing-conversationid-for-testing-in-seam/.

I was wondering whether that is the right way to do it.

Thanks in advance,

You should do an integration test and use FacesRequest

String cid = new FacesRequest("/foo.xhtml") {
 ...
}.run();

new FacesRequest("/bar.xhtml", cid) {

}.run();

and so on.
