AbstractJsfTestCase question

[Venkataganesh Thoppae]

New user of Shale Test framework. I'm trying to write some test cases for
JSF 1.1 implementation using AbstractJsfTestCase.

Experiencing few problems while trying to resolve some EL expressions
programmatically.
- MockVariableResolver not able to resolve array elements like
#{someBean.property[0]}
- How would I resolve an expression like #{someBean.name == "John Doe"}
- How could I invoke static EL functions like #{prefix:fnName}

Advance Thanks for your help.

Hmm... What errors are you getting? Or is it just returning null? If  
it's just returning null, remember that you must manually but the bean  
in the proper scope - Shale doesn't read faces-config.

Yes, I know Shale doesn't read faces-config.
Here is a sample implementation.

public class MyTestCase extends AbstractJsfTestCase {
//A valid someBean object is created in the request scope in setUp()

@Test
public void test1 {
    String val=
(String)facesContext.getApplication().createValueBinding("#{someBean.prop[0]}"};
    assertEquals(val, "M");
}
}

The error I get is:
javax.faces.el.PropertyNotFoundException: prop0
    at
org.apache.shale.test.mock.MockPropertyResolver.descriptor(MockPropertyResolver.java:213)
    at
org.apache.shale.test.mock.MockPropertyResolver.getValue(MockPropertyResolver.java:69)
    at
org.apache.shale.test.mock.MockValueBinding.getValue(MockValueBinding.java:126)

I think in JSF 1.1 you have to get the value from a ValueBinding. See  
below.

@Test
public void test1 {
     ValueBinding binding = facesContext.getApplication
().createValueBinding("#{someBean.prop[0]}"};
     String val = (String) binding.getValue(facesContext);
     assertEquals(val, "M");
}


Or you can try the VariableResolver like so:

@Test
public void test1 {
     String val = facesContext.getApplication().getVariableResolver
().resolveVariable(facesContext, "#{someBean.prop[0]}");
     assertEquals(val, "M");
}

Hope this helps.

Actually I missed that part while typing a sample code.
But here is a clean test case runnable if you have shale-test-x.jar.
Appreciate if someone could try this on their box.

Two files are attached.
MyTestCase.java has test cases defined.
SomeBean is a simple POJO.

Thanks

The shale mock value binding has limited EL support.
