Integrating JSFUnit with Spring Security

[shuklarajesh]

We are having some issue with integrating JSFUnit with Spring Security. Appreciate any help regarding this:

Details :
We are trying to test the login page using JSFUnit, and it seems like till credentials validation it is working fine but the JSFContext is getting lost when redirected to another page after via the spring security after validation.

JSFUnit Test Page :

final WebClientSpec wcSpec = new WebClientSpec("/pages/Login.xhtml");
final FormAuthenticationStrategy formAuth = new FormAuthenticationStrategy("test", "test", "login_button", "username", "password");
wcSpec.setInitialRequestStrategy(formAuth);

final JSFSession jsfSession = new JSFSession(wcSpec);
final JSFServerSession server = jsfSession.getJSFServerSession();

The exception is thrown while trying to create JSFSession using the wcSpec

Here is what we have in login validate method

final ExternalContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();

final RequestDispatcher dispatcher = ((ServletRequest) context.getRequest())
.getRequestDispatcher("/j_spring_security_check");

final ServletRequest req = (ServletRequest) context.getRequest();
final ServletResponse res = (ServletResponse) context.getResponse();

dispatcher.forward(req, res);

FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().responseComplete();


The exception is thrown when dispatcher tries to forward

Here is what is there in Spring Security which tries to forward based after successful Logon




The exception is thrown right after successful logon and trying to load the Main Page. I do see the FacesContext is null. Hence we are getting this exception. Are we missing some config required by JSFUnit for Spring Security Please Help?

Hi,

Can you post the stack trace you are getting?

There was a thread about Spring Security awhile back. I'm not sure if your problem is the same or similar:
http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=147491

Perhaps the stack trace will tell the story.

It is the similar problem. Only issue using the OverrideSessionFilter approach is with the JSFUnitHttpSession constructor, It seems JSFUnit has a default constructor which is invisible from other packages

Hi,

Sorry I missed your latest post. Any chance you can rebuild JSFUnit with the constructor changed to public? I don't have any way to test Spring. If you can verify that the filter approach will work then I can add something to JSFUnit to make this work for you and all the others who are having trouble.

Thanks,

Stan

Thx Stan, I already rebuild the JSFUnit with the constructor changed to public and it seems to be working fine. But now i am seeing the managed bean as null which i have mentioned in the other thread
