      Hi,

       

      I have trouble with a Flash component which include by a p:media (Primefaces). This component itself is not testable, but it generate a post request and send it to a servlet. How can I simulate this request? I didn't found a solution with JSFUnit or HTMLUnit.

          You can generate any kind of post request with HtmlUnit.  If you know what the request is going to look like then it is just a matter of using the HtmlUnit API to generate it.  If you have questionis about HtmlUnit then please direct it to their mailing list.

           

          Also, here is some doc about using HtmlUnit and JSFUnit together:

            Hi Stan,

             

            I have greate a test which send a POST-request. It's look like this:

             

             

            @Test
@InitialPage("/path/to/page.xhtml")
public void testServlet (JSFServerSession server, JSFClientSession client) throws IOException {




final WebClient webClient = new WebClient();

WebRequest requestSettings = new WebRequest(new URL("http://localhost:8080/pathTo/Servlet"), HttpMethod.POST);
ArrayList<NameValuePair> requestParameters = new  ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
requestParameters.add(new NameValuePair("A", "1"));
requestParameters.add(new NameValuePair("B", "2"));
requestParameters.add(new NameValuePair("C", "3"));



requestSettings.setRequestParameters(requestParameters);




HtmlPage page = webClient.getPage(requestSettings);




System.out.println(page.getWebResponse().getContentAsString());
Assert.assertTrue(true);


}

             

            The output is: &searchResult=3&invokeJS=showSearchResults (That's a generated responsetext).

             

            I think the problem is, that there is no link between initial page and webrequest. I was going to use the Webclient from JSFClientSession, but this Attribute is private. Have you a solution for this problem?

             

            big thx!

              Yes.  You get the WebClient from the JSFSession object. 

               

              @Test
@InitialPage("/path/to/page.xhtml")
public void testServlet (JSFSession jsfSession, JSFServerSession server, JSFClientSession client) throws IOException {
     WebClient webClient =  jsfSession.getWebClient();

                Nice to know, that this signature is possible.

                But if I use the jsfsession.webclient, I get the same result ...

                And after the webClient.getPage command, the line "System.out.println(page.asText());" returned "&searchResult=3&invokeJS=showSearchResults", too.

                With server.getManagedBeanValue() I see that nothing changed.
