I try to set up some Junit tests for our SEAM Project. I struggle now even with the CVS relase from 20061204 with the following exception :

this is my code for the unit test environment (stolen from the TestNG SeamTest)

@Before public void setUpSeam(){
 application = new MockApplication();
 application.setStateManager( new SeamStateManager( application.getStateManager() ) );
 application.setNavigationHandler( new SeamNavigationHandler( application.getNavigationHandler() ) );
 //don't need a SeamVariableResolver, because we don't test the view
 phases = createPhaseListener();

 servletContext = new MockServletContext();
 initServletContext( servletContext.getInitParameters() );
 new Initialization(servletContext).init();
 Lifecycle.setServletContext(servletContext);

 //conversationStates = new HashMap<String, ConversationState>();

 }
