[2.x][1.x] exception comparison in stests

[Simon Laws <si...@googlemail.com>]

Can we be a bit more precise about what sort of exceptions are expected from
a failing test. For example, could we have...

public class ASM_0004_TestCase extends BaseJAXWSTestCase {


    protected TestConfiguration getTestConfiguration() {
        TestConfiguration config = new TestConfiguration();
        config.testName         = "ASM_0004";
        config.input             = "request";
        config.output             = "org.osoa.sca.ServiceRuntimeException:
Too many targets on reference: reference1";
        config.composite         = "Test_ASM_0004.composite";
        config.testServiceName     = "TestClient";
        config.testClass         = ASM_0002_Client.class;
        config.serviceInterface = TestInvocation.class;
        return config;
    }

} // end class Test_ASM_0004

Where the config.output specified precisely what exception is expected.

This needs a change in the base class to pull out explicit exceptions

    public void setUp() throws Exception {
        try {
            startContribution();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // If the SCA runtime refuses to start an invalid contribution,
then this is also
            // regarded as a successful outcome
            System.out.println( "Exception received - detail: " +
e.getMessage() );
            if (e.getCause() instanceof InvocationTargetException){
                assertEquals( testConfiguration.getExpectedOutput(),
((InvocationTargetException)e.getCause()).getCause().getMessage() );
            } else {
                assertEquals( testConfiguration.getExpectedOutput(),
"exception" );
            }
            System.out.println("Test " + testConfiguration.getTestName() + "
completed successfully");
            // Mark this test as not to proceed further
            proceed = false;
        } // end try
    }

This does raise the question of why our exceptions are so awkwardly nested
but that's a different question. Hence the exact nature of how we identify
and extract the exception is subject to debate.
