Error accessing same http session across test methods
Environment: Weblogic 7, Win2k, Cactus 1.4.1
I have a ServletTestCase with two test methods - testLogin(), testLogout().
testlogin calls a doPost() on a servlet which logs in user using HTTP
request parameters, and places an object in session. When I test
assertNotNull for that session attribute, the test succeeds.
testlogout() calls another doPost() which logs out the earlier user and
invalidate the session. But when I do assertNotNull() for the same
session attribute (before the actual call to servlet), the test fails..
I am using the same servlet...and session.isNew() always returns true
This leads me to believe..
The HTTPSession created by testLogin() can nolonger be accessed by
subsequent test method(s) ??
This is a bug..right ??

Hi Avinash,
Nick is right: Cactus creates a new HTTP Session for each testXXX().
Unless you specify not to create one
(WebRequest.setAutomaticSession(false)).
That said, there are cases when you need to be able to unit test methods
that expect an HTTP Session to exist. A method that tests for
Session.isNew() is such a case...
In order to be able to test this, Cactus 1.5 (it is not present in
Cactus 1.4) has introduced a new method:
WebRequest.getSessionCookie()
See
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-cactus/documentation/docs/xdocs/ch
anges.xml?rev=1.57&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup (search for
"HTTP Session")
Here is the test that is included in the Cactus test suite:
public void beginCreateSessionCookie(WebRequest theRequest)
{
HttpSessionCookie sessionCookie = theRequest.getSessionCookie();
theRequest.addCookie(sessionCookie);
}
public void testCreateSessionCookie()
{
assertTrue("A session should have been created prior to "
+ "this request", !session.isNew());
}
You need to get a nightly build
(http://cvs.apache.org/builds/jakarta-cactus/nightly/2002-11-16/).
Cheers,
-Vincent

No, it's as designed. Each test method gets a new session. Not only that,
but test methods are not guaranteed to operate in any sequence, so relying
on state from one method to the next is generally a bad idea.
See:
