public class ByWComponentPath
extends ByWComponent

This By implementation will only work if the servlet is running in the same JVM as the test. While this is the easiest way to write tests, those tests will not be reusable for verifying environments.

An implementation of By which can find HTML elements which correspond to (most) WComponents. Only WComponents which emit elements with ids can be searched on. This means that components such as WText and "WComponent" itself can not be used in a search path.

Note: Since there's no mapping from XHTML to the WComponent XML schema, this By implementation will always search from the root component, no matter what the search context is.

See TreeUtil.findWComponents(WComponent, String[]) for details on the path syntax.

Since:

1.0.0
