[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Null Pointer Exception During Integration Testing

[neilac333]

I am integration testing my first component, and I am finding a NullPointerException that I cannot find an explanation for.

Here is the class I am testing:

@Name("searchAction")
  | public final class searchAction extends Object {
  |    private String name;
  |    @In
  |    private SearchDelegate search;
  |    @Logger
  |    private Log logger;
  | 
  | ...and so on
  | 

Here is my test:

public void testSearchActionComponent() throws Exception {
  |       logger.debug("Starting method testSearchActionComponent");
  |       
  |       new ComponentTest() {
  | 
  |             protected void testComponents() throws Exception
  |             {
  |                setValue("#{searchAction.name}", "Benzoic");
  |             }
  | 
  |          }.run();
  |    }
  | 
  | 


Finally, here is the exception:


  | java.lang.NullPointerException
  | 	at org.jboss.seam.servlet.ServletApplicationMap.get(ServletApplicationMap.java:54)
  | 	at org.jboss.seam.contexts.BasicContext.get(BasicContext.java:48)
  | 	at org.jboss.seam.Component.getInstance(Component.java:1843)
  | 	at org.jboss.seam.Component.getInstance(Component.java:1821)
  | 	at org.jboss.seam.Component.getInstance(Component.java:1816)
  | 	at org.jboss.seam.core.Expressions.instance(Expressions.java:253)
  | 	at org.jboss.seam.mock.BaseSeamTest$ComponentTest.setValue(BaseSeamTest.java:160)
  | 	at model.test.SearchActionAdvancedTest$2.testComponents(Unknown Source)
  | 	at org.jboss.seam.mock.BaseSeamTest$ComponentTest.run(BaseSeamTest.java:170)
  | 	at model.test.SearchActionAdvancedTest.testComponent(Unknown Source)
  | 

As you can see, I am not really even testing anything.  I just wanted to see if this minimalist approach would pass, but it is not.

Please let me know if you need more information.  Any insight is appreciated.

Thanks.
