framework for integration testing in java: fit: how to handle nested objects using fixtures

[narendra mallavarapu]

Hi,

I am using FIT for integration tests. I know how to use Column Fixture, Row Fixture and Action Fixture basically. Now my problem is, if i have nested objects like Customer object is holding Address object with some fields, how can i parse such kind of objects.

example:

package com.sample;

import java.sql.Date;

public class Customer {
	private String name;
	private int no;
	private Date dob;
	private Address address;

	public String getName() {
		return name;
	}

	public void setName(String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}

	public int getNo() {
		return no;
	}

	public void setNo(int no) {
		this.no = no;
	}

	public Date getDob() {
		return dob;
	}

	public void setDob(Date dob) {
		this.dob = dob;
	}

	public Address getAddress() {
		return address;
	}

	public void setAddress(Address address) {
		this.address = address;
	}

	@Override
	public String toString() {
		return "Customer [name=" + name + ", no=" + no + ", dob=" + dob
				+ ", address=" + address + "]";
	}

}

package com.sample;

public class Address {
	private int dno;
	private String street;
	private String city;

	public int getDno() {
		return dno;
	}

	public void setDno(int dno) {
		this.dno = dno;
	}

	public String getStreet() {
		return street;
	}

	public void setStreet(String street) {
		this.street = street;
	}

	public String getCity() {
		return city;
	}

	public void setCity(String city) {
		this.city = city;
	}

	@Override
	public String toString() {
		return "Address [dno=" + dno + ", street=" + street + ", city=" + city
				+ "]";
	}
}

Now, i want to check using Action Fixture get Customer() method that returns customer object. Now in the parse(String s, Type) where s is string format of customer object coming from input file, how can i convert it into Customer object.
Is my approach proper? Please help me if you know it. i have some urgent req. to complete such kind of task.

Thank in advance.
Narendra.
