Test class unable to read from dispatcher-servlet.xml

[azam]

Hi Everybode,

I'm trying to test my simple LoginController, but I'm getting NullPointerException whenever I try to use methods like getSuccessView(), getCommandClass(), getCommandName()!

Here is my LoginContoller:

public class LoginController extends SimpleFormController{
    
    @Override
    public ModelAndView onSubmit(HttpServletRequest request,
            HttpServletResponse response,
            Object command,
            BindException errors)
            throws Exception {        
        Login login = (Login) command;
        System.out.println("The username is " + login.getUsername());
        System.out.println("the password is " + login.getPassword());
        request.getSession().setAttribute("login", login);
    	return new ModelAndView(new RedirectView(getSuccessView()));
    }
}

And here is my test class LoginControllerTest()

public class LoginControllerTest {

        private MockHttpServletRequest  request;
        private MockHttpServletResponse  response;
        private LoginController loginController;
    
    public LoginControllerTest() {
    }

    @BeforeClass
    public static void setUpClass() throws Exception {
    }

    @AfterClass
    public static void tearDownClass() throws Exception {
    }

    @Before
    public void setUp() {
        request = new MockHttpServletRequest();
        response = new MockHttpServletResponse();
        request.setMethod("GET");
        loginController = new LoginController();
    }
    @After
    public void tearDown() {
    }
    
    @Test
	public void testCreate() {
		assertEquals(Login.class, loginController.getCommandClass());   // <-------- This is returning NullPointerExecption
		assertEquals("login", loginController.getCommandName()); //<------- This is returning NullPointerExecption
		assertEquals("login", loginController.getFormView()); // <-------- This is returning NullPointerExecption
		assertEquals("redirect:search.html", loginController.getSuccessView());
	}

    /**
     * Test of onSubmit method, of class LoginController.
     */
    @Test
    public void testOnSubmit() throws Exception {
        System.out.println("onSubmit");
        LoginController loginController = new LoginController();
        
        Login login = new Login();
        login.setUsername("admin");
        login.setPassword("adminadmin");
        //BindException errors = new BindException(login, "errors");
        
        //request.getSession().setAttribute("login", login);
        ModelAndView mv = loginController.onSubmit(request, response, login, null);
        assertEquals("search.html", mv.getViewName()); // <------This is returning NullPointerExecption
    }

And Here is the code regarding loginController in my dispatcher-servlet.xml

    <bean name="loginController" class="se.spray.rico.web.LoginController">
        <property name="commandClass" value="se.spray.rico.model.Login"/>
        <property name="formView" value="login"/>
        <property name="successView" value="search.html"/>
        <property name="validator" ref="loginValidatorManager"/>
        <property name="commandName" value="login"/>
        <property name="sessionForm" value="true"/>
    </bean>

I'll be very thankful is somebode could point to me what I'm doing wrong?
