SAT: XML

SAT: Socket Acceptance Test: XML

Sat is a framework for testing socket-based servers, as defined elsewhere (TestSAT.html). We focus here on the processing of messages that are encoded in XML.

A SatXmlFixture is the same as a SatFixture, except that the messages sent and received are in XML. This means that:

Sent messages need to be preprocessed to put them in a canonical form - eg, eliminate white space and html tags, and collapse the start and end tags when there's nothing between them.
Received messages are compared against the expected message using a DOM-walk equals rather than a string.equals(). This allows the attributes to be in any order, for example.

XML Tests

Atttributes

A ServerEcho just sends back what it receives.

sat.fit.SatXmlFixture
startServer	sat.mockServer.ServerEcho
comment	Shorthand tag works fine:
send	<Hello></Hello>
rx	<Hello/>
comment	Spaces in tag don't matter:
send	<Hello a="1" />
rx	<Hello a="1"/>
comment	Attributes the same:
send	<Hello a="1" b="2"></Hello>
rx	<Hello a="1" b="2"/>
send	<Hello b="2" a="1" ></Hello>
rx	<Hello a="1" b="2"/>
comment	Attributes differ:
send	<Hello a="1" />
rxDiffers	<Hello a="2"/>
send	<Hello b="2" a="1" />
rxDiffers	<Hello a="1" b="2" c="3"/>
send	<Hello b="2" a="1" />
rxDiffers	<Hello a="1" b="3"/>
send	<Shutdown/>
stopServer

Elements and Text

sat.fit.SatXmlFixture
startServer	sat.mockServer.ServerEcho
send	<Hello>abc</Hello>
rx	<Hello>abc</Hello>
send	<Hello a="1" >abc</Hello>
rx	<Hello a="1" >abc</Hello>
comment	Spaces don't matter around tags:
send	<Hello> <Hi/> <Hiss/> </Hello>
rx	<Hello><Hi/><Hiss/></Hello>
send	<Hello> <Hi/><A>x</A><Hi/> </Hello>
rx	<Hello><Hi/><A>x</A><Hi/></Hello>
comment	Spaces do matter around text:
send	<Hello><Hi/><A>x</A><Hi/></Hello>
rxDiffers	<Hello><Hi/><A> x </A><Hi/></Hello>
comment	Order matters:
send	<Hello> <Hi/> <Hiss/> </Hello>
rxDiffers	<Hello><Hiss/><Hi/></Hello>
comment	All elements need to be there:
send	<Hello><Hi/><Hiss/></Hello>
rxDiffers	<Hello><Hiss/></Hello>
send	<Shutdown/>
stopServer

Using HTML tags for layout

HTML tags may be used for layout in a cell. They are stripped off before the XML is used.

sat.fit.SatXmlFixture
startServer	sat.mockServer.ServerEcho
send	<Gidday> </Gidday>
rx	<Gidday/>
send	<Gidday> <one/> *<two/>* <three/> </Gidday>
rx	<Gidday><one/><two/><three/></Gidday>
send	<Shutdown/>
stopServer
