Superceeded Article: Embedded Web Integration Testing with Jetty

by Johannes Brodwall Posted on January 20, 2007

Do you speak test? In that case: Hello web application:


public class WebIntegrationTest extends net.sourceforge.jwebunit.WebTestCase {

    public void testIndex() {
        beginAt("/index.html");
        assertTextPresent("Hello world");
    }

    private org.mortbay.jetty.Server server;

    protected void setUp() throws Exception {
        server = new org.mortbay.jetty.Server(0);
        server.addHandler(
                new org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext("src/main/webapp", "/my-context"));
        server.start();

        int actualPort = server.getConnectors()[0].getLocalPort();
        getTestContext().setBaseUrl("http://localhost:" + actualPort + "/my-context");
    }
}

public class WebIntegrationTest extends net.sourceforge.jwebunit.WebTestCase {

public void testIndex() {

beginAt("/index.html");

assertTextPresent("Hello world");

}

private org.mortbay.jetty.Server server;

protected void setUp() throws Exception {

server = new org.mortbay.jetty.Server(0);

server.addHandler(

new org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext("src/main/webapp", "/my-context"));

server.start();

int actualPort = server.getConnectors()[0].getLocalPort();

getTestContext().setBaseUrl("http://localhost:" + actualPort + "/my-context");

}

This code runs with no application server, no separate deployment step, just like that.

If this looks interesting, see my full-sized article on java.net

Thank you Mr. Johannes for this article

Thanks for the article, been very useful in setting up our end to end tests.
I am however having problems with getting JNID working within Jetty. Can you confirm the quoted code is correct?
http://brodwall.com/johannes/ Johannes Brodwall

Hi, Martin

I am pretty sure it is correct. But make sure that you use the latest version of this article: http://www.brodwall.com/johannes/blog/2007/02/0…

The code for this particular bit is here: http://svn.brodwall.com/demo/insanejava/trunk/w…

If you still don't have any success, feel free to post the problem here, or send me an email.

Thanks for the article. I ran into an issue with Jetty classloading when running on a linux platform.

The code which retrieves Springs WebApplicatonContext using the jetty server's servlet context was failing. Specifically, the following code was throwing a ClassCastException:

ApplicationContext appctx = WebApplicationContextUtils
.getRequiredWebApplicationContext(servletContext);

The reason being that the Spring's application context was loaded by Jetty's own classloader, hence cannot be used here.

The work around was to set the parentLoaderPriority to true while creating the Jetty server as described here: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/JETTY/Classloa…

eg:
WebAppContext context = new WebAppContext();
context.setParentLoaderPriority(true);
context.setContextPath(“/”);
context.setWar(“path/to/war/or/exploded/war”);
jettyServer.setHandler(context);

The errors happens didnt happen on a Windows XP box. But while running our CI builds on a Redhat EL4 box, the classcast exception was thrown.

Redhat EL4
JDK 1.5_07-b3
Jetty-6.1.1
Spring-Framework-2.0.2

Hope this might help someone who runs into the same problem.

Hi, Suresh.

I was not aware of this issue. Thanks for the heads-up and the good feedback. I will have to work on how to integrate it into the text, but I have updated the source code in SVN.

i did not modify any other file like etc/jetty.xml. also, i dont have any jetty-web.xml or jetty-env.xml file in $jetty.home/webapps-plus/LSRTest1/WEB-INF directory.

when i use java code like:
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
DataSource ds = (DataSource) ctx.lookup(“java:comp/env/jdbc/LSRDB”);

i get the following exception:
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException; remaining name 'env/jdbc/LSRDB'

Hi, zp bappi

My experience is that JNDI is something that is a little tricky to get right, and I've never used this approach with pre-released versions of Jetty. I recommend that you try out using Jetty 6.1 or that you post a question to the Jetty mailing lists, which you can find on http://docs.codehaus.org/display/JETTY/Jetty+Wiki. I would also recommend using Java rather than XML to set up Jetty. This will not necessarily solve you problem, but your cycle time can be quicker.

You have just won $15. Regardless of the experience that you are looking to get you will be able to find it on this website. This should be obvious but most people who wow gold go into a casino never do this. A lot of people who have been waiting for the launch of Chromebooks are now thinking to replace their computers with wow gold fast delivery Chrome Netbooks. The odds are not in your favor and if you look at people who have won big jackpots, they didn’t manage the money well and eventually lost it all or spent it all.
