Output of Spring Webflow in Junit

[nitindabadghav]

I have a Junit written for a Spring Webflow. The Junit works fine but I need to check the values of the output of the webflow. How can we get those in my Junit class? See the below workflow. How can I get the value out_object in my Junit test case?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<flow xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/webflow"
xmlns:ns0="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
ns0:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/webflow http://www.springframework.org/schema/webflow/spring-webflow-2.0.xsd"
start-state="start">

<action-state id="start">
....
</action-state>

<view-state id="showSomething" view="showView">
<transition on="save" to="store">
</transition>
<transition on="cancel" to="end"/>
</view-state>

<action-state id="store">
do something the storing stuff and transition to finish
<transition to="finish"/>
</action-state>

<end-state id="cancel"/>

<output name="out_object" value="flowScope.outputObject"/>

</flow>

Thanks in advance.

How can I get the value out_object in my Junit test case?

Try registering a FlowExecutionListener (subclass FlowExecutionListenerAdapter) implementing 'sessionEnded' as an inner class of your JUnit test suite and assert the k/v pairs of the attribute map 'output' within it.

Eventually I got it working yesterday in the below way :

LocalAttributeMap outputVariables = (LocalAttributeMap)getFlowExecutionOutcome().getOu tput();

This returned me the value of the output parameters of the webflow.

Thanks anyways

Great. I had been using my approach previously, however yours is more concise!
