Re: AbstractJsfTestCase question

I think in JSF 1.1 you have to get the value from a ValueBinding. See below.

@Test
public void test1 {
   ValueBinding binding = facesContext.getApplication().createValueBinding("#{someBean.prop[0]}"};
   String val = (String) binding.getValue(facesContext);
   assertEquals(val, "M");
}


Or you can try the VariableResolver like so:

@Test
public void test1 {
   String val = facesContext.getApplication().getVariableResolver().resolveVariable(facesContext, "#{someBean.prop[0]}");
   assertEquals(val, "M");
}

Hope this helps.

Yes, I know Shale doesn't read faces-config.
Here is a sample implementation.

public class MyTestCase extends AbstractJsfTestCase {
//A valid someBean object is created in the request scope in setUp()

@Test
public void test1 {
   String val=
(String)facesContext.getApplication().createValueBinding("#{someBean.prop[0]}"};
   assertEquals(val, "M");
}
}

The error I get is:
javax.faces.el.PropertyNotFoundException: prop0

org.apache.shale.test.mock.MockPropertyResolver.descriptor(MockPropertyResolver.java:213)

Hmm... What errors are you getting? Or is it just returning null? If it's
just returning null, remember that you must manually but the bean in the
proper scope - Shale doesn't read faces-config.

 New user of Shale Test framework. I'm trying to write some test cases for

JSF 1.1 implementation using AbstractJsfTestCase.

Experiencing few problems while trying to resolve some EL expressions
programmatically.
- MockVariableResolver not able to resolve array elements like
#{someBean.property[0]}
- How would I resolve an expression like #{someBean.name == "John Doe"}
- How could I invoke static EL functions like #{prefix:fnName}

Advance Thanks for your help.
