Junit with input as xml

[frendmansi]

Hello All,

I am stuck with a testing issue!
I have a class to perform unit testing for.The input to the methods in the class is string.This string is made by flattening one of my own XML.Now, to perform the tests,I want the aggregates of my XML to be configured for different inputs.

Is there any way in Junits framework to perform such type of testing?Or is there any other framework which can make my this happen?

Thanks in Advance,
Mansi

What is the question here?
Are you asking
how to join together xml files using Java
or
how to read xml files in a JUnit test?

Hi! thnaks for ur reply! My quest is that how do i change aggregate values in the xml,during the execution of each test cases?

Still not clear. Maybe if you post some relevant code explaining where the problem is.

I am in the R&D phase of this requirement and yet to decide and start with the approach.
Here's detailed explanation of the requirement:

I am to test a class which has two two methods which need parameter values as String xml = myInputXML.toString();

method call in the test case will be like:
myTestCase(){
.... {1}
.... {2}
myService.myMethod(xml);
}

Now I want the values of the aggregates in the xml file to be changed at lines {1} and {2} in myTest()

Hope this makes it clear.Please ask if you need more details.

Also,U can suggest any other framework if u this that will be better.

Thanks

Why not start with multiple input xml files with known values?

Thanks!Thats one option I have put as last thing to do ! Was just expolring things to make my test lighter as thr can be approx 20 cases and hence 20 xmls.

If you autogenerate your testcases' input, you'd need test cases for those cases.
Test cases usually start with known values as inputs and known expectations as outputs.
