Class MockFlowServiceLocator

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.webflow.engine.builder.BaseFlowServiceLocator
      org.springframework.webflow.engine.builder.DefaultFlowServiceLocator
          org.springframework.webflow.test.MockFlowServiceLocator

All Implemented Interfaces:

FlowServiceLocator

public class MockFlowServiceLocator
extends DefaultFlowServiceLocator

A stub flow service locator implementation suitable for a test environment.

Allows programmatic registration of subflows needed by a flow execution being tested, see registerSubflow(Flow). Subflows registered are typically stubs that verify parent flow input and output scenarios.

Also supports programmatic registration of additional custom services needed by a flow (such as Actions) managed in a backing Spring ConfigurableBeanFactory. See the registerBean(String, Object) method. Beans registered are typically mocks or stubs of business services invoked by the flow.

Constructor Detail

MockFlowServiceLocator

public MockFlowServiceLocator()

Creates a new mock flow service locator.

Method Detail

registerSubflow

public void registerSubflow(Flow subflow)

Register a subflow definition in the backing flow registry, typically to support a flow execution test. For test scenarios, the subflow is often a stub used to verify parent flow input and output mapping behavior.

Parameters:

subflow - the subflow

registerBean

public void registerBean(java.lang.String beanName,
                         java.lang.Object bean)

Register a bean in the backing bean factory, typically to support a flow execution test. For test scenarios, if the bean is a service invoked by a bean invoking action it is often a stub or dynamic mock implementation of the service's business interface.

Parameters:

beanName - the bean name

bean - the singleton instance
