multiple requests

[trossmy]

I can't seem to figure out how to do multiple requests in one test. Background is that our webapp has a PhaseListener that checks if the user is logged in and redirects to the login page if that is not the case. So in order to test any action I need to execute the login action first.

 HtmlPage htmlPage;
 WebClientSpec wcSpec;
 wcSpec = new WebClientSpec("/login.action?bank=5&lang=de&path=layout/bekb");
 htmlPage = (HtmlPage) wcSpec.doInitialRequest();
FacesContext facesContext = FacesContextBridge.getCurrentInstance();
 UIViewRoot root = facesContext.getViewRoot();

 assertEquals("/jspx/login/login.jspx", root.getViewId());
 HtmlInput inputText = (HtmlInput) htmlPage.getElementById("loginForm:name");
 inputText.setValueAttribute(useerName);
 HtmlInput pass = (HtmlInput) htmlPage.getElementById("loginForm:password");
 pass.setValueAttribute(password);
 HtmlSubmitInput submit = (HtmlSubmitInput) htmlPage.getElementById("loginForm:loginSubmit");
 submit.click();
 facesContext = FacesContextBridge.getCurrentInstance();
 ValueExpression identity = facesContext.getApplication().getExpressionFactory().createValueExpression(facesContext.getELContext(), "#{identity}", Contract.class);
assertNotNull(identity.getValue(facesContext.getELContext()));

So far so good. How do I issue another request from here, while guaranteeing that the #{identity} ValueExpression is still available?

This wiki should help you out:
http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/JSFUnitTestingSecurePages

You'll probably just want to extend SimpleInitialRequestStrategy and insert your special login logic. That will get you past the login page each time you want to start a new JSFSession.

Let us know how it goes.

so I tried that strategy, i could use a slightly modified FormAuthentificationStrategy, what does not work though is that the page returned by

public Page doInitialRequest(WebClientSpec wcSpec) throws IOException
 {
 HtmlPage page = (HtmlPage)super.doInitialRequest(wcSpec);
 setValue(page, "loginForm:name", this.userName);
 setValue(page, "loginForm:password", this.password);
 return clickSubmitComponent(page);
 }

is alway empty, even though the webapp does everything as expected. Am I missing something here?

Maybe I can help. Can you post the whole class so I can see exactly what you did?

Hi Stan! Thanks! Well it's basically your FormauthenticationStrategy, only that I replaced the userName and password inputText id's with those that we are using. But it's not a JEE container-managed security system, maybe that is the problem?

public class FormAuthenticationStrategy extends SimpleInitialRequestStrategy
{

 private String userName;
 private String password;
 private String submitComponent = "loginForm:loginSubmit";

 /**
 * Create a new FormAuthenticationStrategy.
 *
 * @param userName The user name.
 * @param password The password.
 */
 public FormAuthenticationStrategy(String userName, String password)
 {
 this.userName = userName;
 this.password = password;
 }

 /**

 */
 public void setSubmitComponent(String submitComponent)
 {
 this.submitComponent = submitComponent;
 }

 /**

 */
 public Page doInitialRequest(WebClientSpec wcSpec) throws IOException
 {
 HtmlPage page = (HtmlPage)super.doInitialRequest(wcSpec);
 setValue(page, "loginForm:name", this.userName);
 setValue(page, "loginForm:password", this.password);
 return clickSubmitComponent(page);
 }

 protected Page clickSubmitComponent(HtmlPage page) throws IOException
 {
 HtmlElement htmlElement = getElement(page, this.submitComponent);
 if (!(htmlElement instanceof ClickableElement))
 {
 throw new IllegalStateException("Component with name=" + this.submitComponent + " is not a ClickableElement.");
 }

 ClickableElement clickable = (ClickableElement)htmlElement;
 return clickable.click();
 }

 protected void setValue(HtmlPage page, String elementName, String value)
 {
 HtmlElement element = getElement(page, elementName);
 if (!(element instanceof HtmlInput))
 {
 throw new IllegalStateException("Component with name=" + elementName + " is not an HtmlInput element.");
 }
 HtmlInput inputElement = (HtmlInput)element;
 inputElement.setValueAttribute(value);
 }

 protected HtmlElement getElement(HtmlPage page, String elementName)
 {
 List<HtmlElement> elements = page.getHtmlElementsByName(elementName);
 if (elements.size() == 0)
 {
 throw new IllegalStateException("Component with name=" + elementName + " was not found on the login page.");
 }
 if (elements.size() > 1)
 {
 throw new IllegalStateException("More than one component with name=" + elementName + " was found on the login page.");
 }

 return elements.get(0);
 }

}

The webapp works like this: Whenever there is a request a phaselistener checks if there is a valid user object in the session, if that is not the case it redirects to the login page. After successfull login the user then is redirected to the originally requested page. In the jsfUnit test the expected viewId is correct, but all the components are null. Im using the repository snapshot 1.0GA-SNAPSHOT

forgot the test:

 WebClientSpec wcSpec = new WebClientSpec("/myServletPath.action");
 wcSpec.setInitialRequestStrategy(new FormAuthenticationStrategy("myUser", "123456"));
 HtmlPage page = (HtmlPage) wcSpec.doInitialRequest();
 FacesContext facesContext = FacesContextBridge.getCurrentInstance();
 UIViewRoot root = facesContext.getViewRoot();
 boolean b = root.getViewId().equals("/myServletPath.jspx");
 assertTrue(b);
 HtmlInput inputText = (HtmlInput) page.getElementById("myForm:myId");
 assertNotNull(inputText);
 // this assert fails

You need to pass the wcSpec to a JSFSession. You should not call wcSpec.doInitialRequest() directly.

JSFSession jsfSession = new JSFSession(wcSpec);

ok, I found the solution, the reason the login action was not executed was that the phaselistener would always redirect a request with uiViewRoot ==null where uiViewRoot is

UIViewRoot uiViewRoot = facesContext.getViewRoot()

to the login page which somehow works allright with browsers that do have a head;-) but not with the underlying htmlunit Library where the submitted requests seem to always have a blank uiViewRoot
