[jira] Commented: (MNG-635) Webapp Resources Not Available to Unit Tests

Brett Porter commented on MNG-635:
----------------------------------

I'm inclined to WON'T FIX this. this is not what classpath resources are for. Your patch would copy all those resources into /WEB-INF/classes as well - eg /WEB-INF/classes/WEB-INF/web.xml if I understand correctly.

Thanks for putting the effort into a patch though - is there some other way we can solve this? In the past I've done these as integration tests that would take the final WAR file and use that instead. See MNG-591 for how we are planning to allow that.

> Unit tests that depend on resources in the webapp directory fail because those resources are not available during the test phase.  This makes it impossible to write tests using tools like HttpUnit that rely on information in web.xml file:
> Ex:
> InputStream webXML = GreeterServlet.class.getResourceAsStream("/WEB-INF/web.xml");
> ServletRunner sr = new ServletRunner(webXML);
