SeamTest - Target Unreachable

[mikeschulze]

Hi - I've written a small SeamTest with an included FacesRequest to test my Application. Everthing works fine until I get to a Point where a Seam-component is referenced, that was not referenced in my original JSF-page.

JSF-page -- uses Seam-component1 -- uses Seam-component2

this is my stacktrace

How do I load the last component? I've tried getInstance(..) but it throws a ClassCastException, so I think I might have chosen a  wrong way. I do not want to mock the second component, because it contains essential funtionality.

Thx - Mike

if u are accessing a property of a seam component then u can do it in two ways

1 -

getValue("#{seamComponentName.propertyName}")

don't forget to add getter and setter methods of ur property in the seam component

2 -

MyClass myClass = (MyClass)getInstance("propertyName")

if u are accesing the property of an Entity then

getValue("#{entityName.propertyName}")

in this case I imagine u already have getters and setters for ur property
