I am testing my application using JUNIT and my application is based on struts.
I am getting an NullPointerException ,while testing using JUNIT

Code snippet from PAAction.javs

NullPointerException is due to the following line of code:
StrPageSize = getResources (req).getMessage ("pricing.pageSize");

I am setting the page size using properties file (ApplicationResources.properties) which I have stored in the dcomm-ui/JavaSource/com/sbc/dcomm/ui/resources /

Code snippet from ApplicationResources.properties
pricing.pageSize=5

If web server executes action class for the application, it will not throw any exception; it takes value from the properties file and executes the method properly.

How do I set this value in my test case method for testing it using JUNIT?
How do I fix this problem by setting pagesize in my test case method?


My Test case method is as follows:
public void testApplyChanges()
{
UserProfile profile=SessionDAOFactory.getUserProfile(request);
setRequestPathInfo("/pricingMain");
PAActionForm nPopUpForm = new PAActionForm();
setActionForm(nPopUpForm);
addRequestParameter("method","applyChanges");
addRequestParameter("id","2863");
addRequestParameter("cartSiteId","-1");
addRequestParameter("page","1");



nPopUpForm.setEditableField("textCostPrice");
nPopUpForm.setEditValues("2320.0,2320.0,352.0,352.0,0.0");
nPopUpForm.setPromoCode("12");
nPopUpForm.setPromoDesc("2356");
nPopUpForm.setId(2863);
nPopUpForm.setCartSiteId("-1");
actionPerform();
verifyForward("success");
verifyForwardPath("/cart/pa/paMain.jsp");
verifyNoActionErrors();


}

Expecting your solution ..

Thomas,
It sounds like the test cannot find resource. It it in the same project or a different one? If it's a different one, it it in the classpath?

I am able to get the page size from properties while I am using the same application from browser window.Web Server takes value from property file and executes for the application.

JUNIT is not able to take the value from the properties file and execute it for unit testing.It throws NullPonterException.

It's obvious that JUNIT is not able to find resource file.

First thing is to double check that there is a file in WEB-INF/classes/com/sbc/dcomm/ui/resources/ApplicationResources.properties. If not, the file can't be found because it isn't there.

Otherwise, it is a classpath issue. What IDE are you using? Are you running the JUnit test through Ant, the IDE or the command line?

I am using WSAD 5.1.2 and it comes with JUNIT tool.I am testing my application using this tool.

My application,server,IDE,junit are on the same location.

How do I set classpath SPECIFICALLY for properties file ?

dcomm-ui\JavaSource
dcomm-ui\JUnit are on the path.These paths are mentioned in JAVA BUILD PATH.
Could you please tell me ,do I need to set class path for properties for seperately?

The properties file is placed on \dcomm-ui\WebContent\WEB-INF\classes\com\sbc\dcomm\ui\resources\.

While running the application,how does it pick up this file and execute?
This problem arises only when we test it using JUNIT.

From a WSAD point of view, everything should be fine since it is the same project. One more question: are you using any tools like Cactus or just plain junit?

I am extending the class named CactusStrutsTestCase and this comes along with WSAD 5.1.2

Eg : public class PAActionTest extends CactusStrutsTestCase

Out of ideas. Sorry! You might want to try posting the classpart part of this question in WebSphere. It does look like a configuration issue.
