Hello,
i am using the JettyTestSetup to test a simple Servlet. This servlet
sometimes calls
getServletContext().getNamedDispatcher("default").forward(request,
response); to redirect requests to the default servlet to serve static
resources.
Well this is what Jetty returns as response when such a redirect happens:
HTTP ERRR: 404 /core/ServletRedirector Not Found
Where core is the context path.
It is not important for me to test what the redirect returns, its more
important that the servlet performs the redirect. That is what I want to
test.
Any ideas on how to test that (Testing for this error message would be a
very hacky solution)?
greetings
Dennis :)

Do you mean that the 404 response is the expected behavior of
RequestDispatcher#foward() performed by your servlet?

I don't think the error message is the expected result, however,
I think you need to evaluate the response at endXXX(WebResponse) method
to test RequestDispatcher#forward works as expected.

Hi Kazuhito,

thank you for your answer. My servlet is mapped to process any request that
is made.
Lets say we have a request on /core/test.html: My servlets checks if it can
handle, if not it redirects to the default
servlet which should serve test.html (which does exist).
But instead of the contents of test.html i get the described 404 Error which
says that it cannot find "/core/ServletRedirector".
It works fine running the redirect in tomcat and jetty containers without
cactus.

Regards,
Dennis

Hi Dennis,

Followings are information and recommendation from me.
These are based on short examination with default settings of Tomat-5.5.12.
But, please note that behavior of a servlet named "default" might
be different for each container and its configuration.

I think it's hard to test the forwarding by using Cactus
as long as you are using getNamedDispatcher("default").

RequestDispatcherWrapper#forward(), which is used in the test,
calls the original RequestDispatcher with the original HTTP request.
# See Cactus API JavaDoc.

A servier-side test case is invoked from a servlet,
/<context>/ ServletRedirecter. So, the request URI of the original HTTP
request is "/<context>/ServletRedirector".

When the original RequestDispatcher is the default servlet of Tomcat,
it's trying to obtain the resource from "/<context>/ServletRedirector",
that has the possiblity of causing an infinite loop.
# Fortunately, the default servlet responds 404 and stops the loop.

Please try following fragments of servlet and web.xml.
You will find similar behavior with your Cactus tests
when you access to <context>/dummy.

public DummyServlet
extends HttpServlet
{
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IException
{
getServletContext().getNamedDispatcher("default").forward(request, response);
}
}

<servlet>
<servlet-name>dummy</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>DummyServlet</servlet-name>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>dummy</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/dummy</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

I would like to recommend you to use getRequestDispatcher(String)
instead of getNamedDispatcher("default"), it it's possible.
If you can do so, you will be able to simulate any path condition
for a testXXX() by using org.apache.cactus.WebRequest#setURL() method
in beginXXX(), and you can evaluate a forwarded responce in the corresponding
endXXX() method.
# You should not simulate <context>/ServletRedirector,
# which is the default of Cactus, of cource :-)

Hope this helps,

karthiknSuppoes i have 100 jsp pages which have session Tracked,
karthiknso how to set the sessions and Test such jsp pages using CACTUS .

Please take a look at:

You can set session attributes in testXXX() method
before you call JSP under test by using one of forward methods.

Please point out what confuses you.

karthiknIf u hava a sample working test case with war file,please
karthiknprovid me the same. so i can correct my self.

A sample.

public class SampleTest

{
public SampleTest(String name)

super(name);
}
public void testJsp()
throws Exception
{
session.setAttribute("testKey", "testValue");
RequestDispatcher rd = request.getRequestDispatcher("/test.jsp");
rd.forward(request, response);

}

test.jsp:
<%= session.getAttribute("testKey") %>
