Class TestFactoryTypeMerging

java.lang.Object
  junit.framework.Assert
      junit.framework.TestCase
          com.ail.coretest.CoreUserTestCase
              com.ail.coretest.TestFactoryTypeMerging

All Implemented Interfaces:

ConfigurationOwner, CoreUser, java.io.Serializable, junit.framework.Test

public class TestFactoryTypeMerging
extends CoreUserTestCase

The core's factories support the concept of baseing one type on another - in effect allowing type definition to extend one another. The tests here try exercise that support.

Returns:

testSimpleAttributeMerging

public void testSimpleAttributeMerging()
                                throws java.lang.Exception

The Type class offers a merge() method which will merge values from a 'donor' object into a 'subject'. The type factories use this method to implement the 'Extends' facility where one type definition extends another. The javadocs here describe what should happen during a merge. This test checks that functionality.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

testXmlInclude

public void testXmlInclude()
                    throws java.lang.Exception

Castor should support the use of <xi:include>. This test instantiates a type whose definition uses xi:include to pull in external content.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

testXmlIncludeRelativeUrl

public void testXmlIncludeRelativeUrl()
                               throws java.lang.Exception

xi:include doesn't support relative URIs out of the box. Without it, all URI's used to include content into an XML document have to be absolute. This isn't convenient, especially when we want let users move products and their type around in CMS without having to edit the content of the types which those products define. For this reason, extends the XML parser to support relative URLs. This test builds an instance of a type which includes using a relative URI.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception
