(maven, junit) Read files from WEB-INF and test it

[Juri Glass]

Hi

I have a maven2 project which builds me a war file to run in a glassfish. Now I want to read from a file located in WEB-INF (can be moved if necessary).

In a servlet I can do:

ServletContext context = getServletContext();
InputStream in = context.getResourceAsStream("WEB-INF/some.file");

How to test that with a JUnit 4.7 testcase?
How to refer to the files in WEB-INF in the JUnit tests? How do I set the context?

The maven project has this structure (shortened):

- src
  - main
     - java
     - webapp
       - WEB-INF
  - test

Best Juri

You don't have a webapp context in jUnit. For that you either need to be running in a J2EE container or something that simulates one.

You might want to look at Cactus (http://jakarta.apache.org/cactus/).
