Unit Test Validation Logic in Struts2

[Pranav <me...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I am having trouble with unit testing my validation logic in Struts2.

here's the code.

1) In UserLookupAction-validation.xml I have
<field name="memberId">
        <field-validator type="requiredstring">
           <message>You must enter a value for ${getText("memberId.label")}.</message>
       </field-validator>
</field>

2) In UserLookupActionTest.java I have the following method

public void setUp() throws Exception {
        super.setUp();
        ObjectFactory.setObjectFactory( new ObjectFactory() ); 
}

public void testValidationFailed() throws ValidationException {
        ActionValidatorManager avm = ActionValidatorManagerFactory.getInstance();
        UserLookupAction action = new UserLookupAction();
        action.setSession(sessionMap);
        action.setMemberId(null);

        avm.validate(action,"UserLookupAction");
        Map fieldErrors = action.getFieldErrors();
        assertTrue(action.hasErrors());
}

3) UserLookupActionTest extends from TestCase and not from StrutsTestCase but I think I am doing ObjectFactory.setObjectFactory( new ObjectFactory() ); as an alternative to that so it should not cause a problem.

When I run the test testValidationFailed, the ActionValidatorManager gets initialized but it has no properties. Afterwards, when I call validate method, it executes but then fieldErrors map is empty and the action.hasErrors() returns null so the assertion fails. Can someone tell me what is wrong here? Any help would be appreciated. This validation logic seems to work when I run the app.

Thanks
Pranav
