MockServletContext needs a resourceLoader

[jwindberg]

I'm trying to write a test case for a tag.
The tag uses:
pageContext.getServletContext().getRealPath(filePa th);
which is null from MockServletContext.
The api doc says to configure it with a resourceloader.
Anyone know how?
I've been trying to create a DefaultResourceLoader, which wants a servletContext, which wants a ResourceLoader.

I'm soooo confused.

getRealPath returns null if you don't give it a path even on some real servers. Have you tried pageContext.getServletContext().getRealPath("/")?

Actually, I've been trying something specific:

pageContext.getServletContext().getRealPath("WEB-INF/data/files/file.txt")

The tag I want to test is supposed to open a file found relative to the home dir of the web app. I just can't figure out how to define the home dir of the web app to the mock classes in a way that getRealPath will actually work.

Have you tried, when instantiating your MockServletContext, passing in the home directory of the webapp?

like:


ServletContext sc = new MockServletContext("/path/to/web_home");

just for further reference as i came across this thread:
it must be IMHO:



ServletContext sc =
new MockServletContext("file:/path/to/web_home");
