There are tests for the individual databindings -which exercise various bindings with the same databinding at client and server ends of each binding. There -is also an integration test which exercises the transformer chains by specifying different databindings at -client and server ends of the binding. -</p> -<p> -In doing this testing it is apparent that there is a lot of repetition in creating client, services, idl and -type for each of the data types for each of the bindings for each of the databindings. To reduce the amount -of effort required to maintain the tests as new types, bindings and databindings are added the test cases -themselves are generated from configuration files. -</p> - -<h4>Test Structure</h4> - -Databindings/Common - hold files common across all tests <br/> -Databindings/Interop - test the transformer chains with combinations of databindings<br/> -Databindings/sdogen and jaxbgen - test each databindings independently<br/> - -<h4>Test Generation</h4> -<p> -To reduce the amount of manual effort involved in building and maintaining tests cases the test cases -themselves are generated at run time using a set of velocity templates. Each test module has a generate.xml -file in the resources/generate directory which tells the generator what to do. The file looks like this. -</p> -<img src="config.png"> -<p> -Each <Template> element describes a velocit template to use in the test. The generator process is to expand -each velocity template provided with all of the types specified in the <InputFile> sections. -</p> -<p> -Each <InputFile> element describes a schema file used in the test. It also contains a description of each -data type that will be tested. The generator then arranges for the databinding being tested to generate -appropriate Java classes to represent the type at runtime. The individual databinding tests use the following -flow. -</p> - -Create data object at client<br/> -Client passes data object to server<br/> -Server modifies data object<br/> -Server returns modified data object to client<br/> -Client tests that modified data object is as expected<br/> -<p> -Hence the CreateTypeCode, ModifyTypeCode and ResultComparison elements which contain the type specific code -that is used in the tests. -</p> - -<h4>The Common Directory</h4> -<p> -The common directory contains the information that is common across all of the tests. This includes the -common velocity templates and the source for the generator that reads the config.xml for each test. Common -also contains all of the data type schema as these are common across all tests. Each test pom is written so -that the contents of the common project are expanded into the tests target directory before the test starts. -In this way all of the common elements are available for the test generation phase and at test runtime. -</p> - -<h4>Individual Databinding Tests</h4> -<p> -The individual databinding tests, for example, sdogen and jaxbgen, are mostly empty as their content is -generated at runtime. The configuration and any test specific templates can be found in the resources/generate -directory. Some files are hand crafted for each test and live in their static position in the tests directory -structure. -</p> -<p> -Each test uses the same scenario -</p> -<img src="databinding.png"> -<p> -The interface exposed by the greeter service provides a greet method for each data type being tested, for -example, -</p> -<code> -PersonType greetPersonType(PersonType param);<br/> -AttributeComplexType greetAttributeComplexType(AttributeComplexType param);<br/> -AttributeReferenceComplexType greetAttributeReferenceComplexType(AttributeReferenceComplexType param);<br/> -</code> -<p> -These methods are taken from the SDO databinding test and hence PersonType, AttributeComplexType, etc. will -have been generated by the SDO static type generator. -</p> -<p> -Hence this tests a single databinding across a variety of data types and a variety of bindings. New bindings -be tested by extending the composite. Be datatypes can be tested by updating the confix.xml file. -</p> -<h4>Databinding Interoperability Tests</h4> -<p> -This test uses the generated client, services and types from the individual databinding tests. It does not -regenerate them and you will see a dependency in the interop test pom on the other databinding tests. Is also -has some generate elements because the composite file must currently have import statements for all of the -SDO factories required during tested. -</p> -<p> -The scenario used here is, -</p> -<img src="interop.png"> -<p> -A chain of components is built up for each binding. Each component, drawn from the the inidividual databinding -tests, tests the full range of datatypes. The client components are designed so that they can be chained together -and so tranformations across different databindings is tests. The service component simply changes the data -content and returns it as before. -</p> -<h4>Building And Running The Tests</h4> -<p> -The tests can be built by doing the following. -</p> -<code> -cd sca/itest/databindings <br/> -mvn -</code> -<p> -The only modification to this process is required if a new input file is added to the tests suite. In this -case you will need to edit the config.xml files as appropriate but run mvn twice. This may sound a little -odd but currently the sdo test uses its pom file to generate the require SDO types. As the test is self -generating the pom file will not be updated to include the new type file until the second time it's run. The -aim is at some point to remove this feature from the pom. -</p> - - -</body> -</html> |
