Here are the details.
The method under test overrides getAction(ActionContext context, String type, ActionConfig actionConfig).
@Override
protected synchronized Action getAction(ActionContext context, String type, ActionConfig actionConfig) throws Exception { // NOPMD
Action action = super.getAction(context, type, actionConfig);
Class actionClass = action.getClass();
Method[] methods = actionClass.getMethods();
/*
* Determine if methods exist that need to be injected with
* beans from the ApplicationContext.
*/
for (Method method : methods) {
if (method.isAnnotationPresent(InjectBean.class)) {
InjectingCreateAction.LOG.info("Found annotation on: " + actionClass.getName());
Class< ? > clazz = method.getParameterTypes()[0];
Object bean = ApplicationContextUtils.getBean(clazz);
method.invoke(action, new Object[] { bean }); // NOPMD
}
}
return action;
}
Using EasyMock's class extension 2.2.2+, we can create a partial mock of the class under test, and use this with some simple refactoring to isolate this method to make it testable.
