SeamTest with Enum @RequestParameter

09. May 2008, 15:01 CET | Link Anton Bagchi

Hi there,

I'm trying to write some SeamTests for my application, but have run into a small problem.

I need to set a parameter for the request which is an Enum value. This works fine in the actual application, but the SeamTest throws a java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: no converter for type: class MyEnum

In my action I have the following request parameter:

@RequestParameter 
private MyEnum myParam

In the xhtml page I have:

<s:button id="save" value="Save" action="#{myAction.save}">
   <f:param name="myParam" value="ONE" />
</s:button>

And as part of the test case I have:

@Override
protected void beforeRequest() {
    setParameter("st", MyEnum.ONE.toString());
}				

I've tried including a <s:convertEnum> in the xhtml, but no joy there. Has anyone had a similar problem - I imagine it's quite common, but can't seem to find any documentation for it.

Cheers,

Anton
