Form validation and submission (java test case)

Question

I'm struggling with a small problem. Here is my setup:

• simple JSF 2.x xhtml page, with simple form
  • managed bean for login name and password
  • managed bean tied to "action" of submit button
  • custom validator
• java test case

I want to trigger( from test case ) form submission, in order to trigger validator and managed been method tied to "action" attribute of submit button.

Is this even possible? Ive googled a bit and tried few things, but still fail to trigger validation.

Possibly Im failing to address POST request properly or to setup something in deployed web app?

Answer 1

Yes possible very well.

• Deploy application
• Use Selenium and try to click on the button after setting wrong data
• Read the response (using Selenium) and parse the error message in expected DIV
