Setting up JSFUnit with Maven, Spring Security, Tomcat --- ClassNotFound: ProjectStage

[mrface]

Hey folks!

I currently try to set up my environment with JSFUnit and it seems not to be that difficult. But when I wanted to start my first Test I get the following exception:

tomcat console:

I get the cactus xsl formated result page in my browser, so I guess JSFUnit itself is set up correctly.

I looked for ProjectStage class and found it in javaee-api-6.0 jar, which is listed in my maven dependencies correctly as well. As I mentioned in the title I use Maven and I even set all dependency scopes to compile level. I still get this error...

My test does not do anything at the moment:

public class JSFUnitTest extends org.apache.cactus.ServletTestCase {
    public static Test suite() {
        return new TestSuite(JSFUnitTest.class);
    }

    public void testInitialPage() throws IOException {

        JSFSession jsfSession = new JSFSession("/faces/login.jsf");

        JSFClientSession client = jsfSession.getJSFClientSession();

        JSFServerSession server = jsfSession.getJSFServerSession();
        assertEquals("/faces/login.jsf", server.getCurrentViewID());

    }
}

Any ideas?

Thank u

With javaee-api-6.0 jar set to compile scope then it should end up in WEB-INF/lib of your WAR.  You should check to make sure.  BTW, why are you putting the entire EE6 API in there?  With Tomcat, you should only bundle what you need.  You will certainly need the full JSF2 implementation, which will not be included in the API jar.

If the API jar did make it into WEB-INF/lib then you will need to check for some of the more unusual causes of ClassNotFoundException.  GetClassNotFoundExceptionOrNoClassDefFoundError

hey Stan!

Thank you for your answer.

I set it to compile scope and it appears in WEB-INF/lib folder of my resulting WAR...

I can't exactly answer why there is the entire EE6 API in there. I did not put it in, because my service is just part of a huge app. So i'm not able to remove possibly needed dependencies.

Thank you for the link. I will keep on trying to solve this issue. i'll let you know...
