All Implemented Interfaces:

junit.framework.Test

public abstract class AbstractModelAndViewTests
extends junit.framework.TestCase

Convenient JUnit 3.8 base class for tests dealing with Spring Web MVC ModelAndView objects.

All assert*() methods throw AssertionFailedErrors.

Consider the use of ModelAndViewAssert with JUnit 4 and TestNG.

Method Summary

protected Object	assertAndReturnModelAttributeOfType(ModelAndView mav, Object modelName, Class expectedType) Checks whether the model value under the given modelName exists and checks it type, based on the expectedType.
protected void	assertCompareListModelAttribute(ModelAndView mav, Object modelName, List expectedList) Compare each individual entry in a list, without first sorting the lists.
protected void	assertModelAttributeAvailable(ModelAndView mav, Object modelName) Assert whether or not a model attribute is available.
protected void	assertModelAttributeValue(ModelAndView mav, Object modelName, Object expectedValue) Compare a given expectedValue to the value from the model bound under the given modelName.
protected void	assertModelAttributeValues(ModelAndView mav, Map expectedModel) Inspect the expectedModel to see if all elements in the model appear and are equal.
protected void	assertSortAndCompareListModelAttribute(ModelAndView mav, Object modelName, List expectedList, Comparator comparator) Compare each individual entry in a list after having sorted both lists (optionally using a comparator).
protected void	assertViewName(ModelAndView mav, String expectedName) Check to see if the view name in the ModelAndView matches the given expectedName.

assertAndReturnModelAttributeOfType

protected Object assertAndReturnModelAttributeOfType(ModelAndView mav,
                                                     Object modelName,
                                                     Class expectedType)

Checks whether the model value under the given modelName exists and checks it type, based on the expectedType. If the model entry exists and the type matches, the model value is returned.

Parameters:

mav - ModelAndView to test against (never null)

modelName - name of the object to add to the model (never null)

expectedType - expected type of the model value

Returns:

the model value

assertCompareListModelAttribute

protected void assertCompareListModelAttribute(ModelAndView mav,
                                               Object modelName,
                                               List expectedList)

Compare each individual entry in a list, without first sorting the lists.

Parameters:

mav - ModelAndView to test against (never null)

modelName - name of the object to add to the model (never null)

expectedList - the expected list

assertModelAttributeAvailable

protected void assertModelAttributeAvailable(ModelAndView mav,
                                             Object modelName)

Assert whether or not a model attribute is available.

Parameters:

mav - ModelAndView to test against (never null)

modelName - name of the object to add to the model (never null)

assertModelAttributeValue

protected void assertModelAttributeValue(ModelAndView mav,
                                         Object modelName,
                                         Object expectedValue)

Compare a given expectedValue to the value from the model bound under the given modelName.

Parameters:

mav - ModelAndView to test against (never null)

modelName - name of the object to add to the model (never null)

expectedValue - the model value

assertModelAttributeValues

protected void assertModelAttributeValues(ModelAndView mav,
                                          Map expectedModel)

Inspect the expectedModel to see if all elements in the model appear and are equal.

Parameters:

mav - ModelAndView to test against (never null)

expectedModel - the expected model

assertSortAndCompareListModelAttribute

protected void assertSortAndCompareListModelAttribute(ModelAndView mav,
                                                      Object modelName,
                                                      List expectedList,
                                                      Comparator comparator)

Compare each individual entry in a list after having sorted both lists (optionally using a comparator).

Parameters:

mav - ModelAndView to test against (never null)

modelName - name of the object to add to the model (never null)

expectedList - the expected list

comparator - the comparator to use (may be null). If not specifying the comparator, both lists will be sorted not using any comparator.

assertViewName

protected void assertViewName(ModelAndView mav,
                              String expectedName)

Check to see if the view name in the ModelAndView matches the given expectedName.

Parameters:

mav - ModelAndView to test against (never null)

expectedName - the name of the model value
