lumis.lptf.portal.structure.StructureHelper

@StableMinor(version="11.0",
             sinceVersion="5.6")
public class StructureHelper
extends Object

Helper class that provides common functionalities needed to perform tests with Service Interfaces.

Possible operations:

• Create pages
• Create channels
• Create service instances
• Create service interface instances
• Cleanup the structure created

All the methods use the current session and the current transaction. The exception to this rule is the cleanup method that starts and ends its own transaction and session. So, if the client code needs to commit the current transaction during the test it is not a problem, since the cleanup will run using a new transaction.

The recommended way to use the StructureHelper is instantiate a new helper, create and start a new transaction and session and create the needed structure to the tests using the helper (since it uses the current transaction and session). When the created structure is no longer necessary, the client code should ends the transaction and the session and call the cleanup() method.

When using JUnit, the StructureHelper instance may be stored as an attribute, initialized during the setUp (or @Before), and the cleanup method may be called from the tearDown (or @After).
