DB backend webapp testing in java [tool needed] -

-

i want create test suit java web application. jsp applications jdbc connectivity . requirements follows,

1 - should able test database logic (queries etc) through models.

2 - great if test .jsp pages (if possible)

after doing research found dbunit database backend system testing, unfortunately couldnt find resource starter

what think testing options have , great if post links resources/ examples well

edit:

and have come across mock objects (like jmock..), wonder use replacement dbunit ?

thanks in advance

cheers

it's not clear question if want run integration tests (front end + end) or unit tests against database layer.

if need tool allows write integration tests, should definitively @ selenium. selenium can generate functional tests navigating web site (jsp pages) , asserting stuff on page exists or it's equal values.

selenium comes firefox plugin generate code you. can replay test in browser or export them java code , make them part of test suite. selenium invaluable tool.

the drawback of using tool selenium application need deployed somewhere before can run test suite. may limitation if plan run automated tests generated using selenium.

if interested in testing database access code (dao, data access layer) dbunit perfect tool. generally, dbunit used initialize database tables before testing and, less often, run assertions on database content. dbunit uses xml based format represent data inserted database.

the xml files containing data pre-populate db triggered build script (ant, maven, etc.) or directly in unit test code. have used both approaches, depends on how code structured , how access database (hibernate, spring+hibernate, jdbc...).

if database not big, i'd recommend populate before running test suite. alternatively, can populate tables interested in testing prior every test.

here link unitils, additional library can used on top of dbunit simplify database testing strategy. think can used reference started: http://www.unitils.org/tutorial.html#database_testing

here anoter link (quite old, 2004) showing basic mechanics of dbunit:

php - What is the difference between $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] and $_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_INFO']? -

-
what’s difference between $_server['path_info'] , $_server['orig_path_info'] ? how use them? when run print_r($_server) , path_info , orig_path_info not present in array. why not? how can enable them? i have read php manual on them, still don’t understand them. the path_info variable present if invoke php script this: http://www.example.com/phpinfo.php/hello_there it's /hello_there part after .php script. if don't invoke url that, there won't $_server["path_info"] environment variable. the porig_ prefix uncommon. path_info standard cgi-environment variable, , should never prefixed. did read that? (there issues around php3/php4 if invoked php interpreter via cgi-bin/ - hardly has such setups today.) for reference: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3875

fortran - Function return type mismatch -

i'm attempting recode old c++ program in fortran make use of lapack (i'm aware c++ have lapack++, i'm having lot of trouble installing it, gave up). i didn't have problems compilation, when had variables declared real . when started coding section of program required lapack, found parameters passed dsyev need double precision . tried change double precision (including changing hard coded numbers double precision counterparts, i.e. 0.0 -> 0.0d0) when try compile, following error of functions , subroutines i've written: error: return type mismatch of function <function> @ (1) (real(4)/real(8)) i'm not sure coming from, in program has been changed double precision. for example, i've declared following: double precision :: alpha(3),d(3),zeta1,zeta2 double precision :: a1(3),a2(3),d1(3),d2(3) double precision :: pi pi = 3.14159265359d0 alpha = (/0.109818d0, 0.405771d0, 2.22766d0/) d = (/0.444635d0, 0.535328d0, 0.154329d0 /) 10 i=1,3 ...

queue - mq_receive: message too long -

-
i implementing communication between 2 processes using queue. problem when call function mq_receive, error: message long. i have done following: struct mq_attr attr; long size = attr.mq_msgsize; .... // initializing queue "/gateway" int rc = mq_receive(gateway, buffer, size, &prio); if print size value, size=1, while when print same size program (got same mechanism), not long integer ( -1217186280 )... how can solve error?....so while size = 1, believe it's right "message long" why 1? p.s. have tried put : int rc = mq_receive(gateway, buffer, sizeof(buffer), &prio); but no result. it seems need read docs more carefully. when call mq_receive should pass size of destination buffer. this size must greater mq_msgsize attribute of queue . in addition, seems have error in queue attributes initialisation makes proper mq_receive call impossible. here standard message queue session: fill mq_attr struct ( doc ): struct mq_a...
