Class MessageDriverNodeDecl

java.lang.Object
  org.sandev.basics.MessageDriver.MessageDriverNodeDecl

Direct Known Subclasses:

MessageDriverNodeBase, MessageDriverNodeInstance

public class MessageDriverNodeDecl

extends java.lang.Object

MessageDriver generates outgoing messages and checks incoming messages in accordance with the TestScript specifications. Several TestScripts can be configured to run in succession. At the conclusion of all TestScript runs, the MessageDriver signals for system termination.

The MessageDriver can query any node instance, and subscribe to any node instance, using the information in the testscript itself. It is not configured for messaging as a standard node.

When a node is being unit tested, its instance declaration has all of its messaging parameters set to be the MessageDriver instance. This enables the MessageDriver to fully test all I/O for the node.

inbound synchronous message calls:

• SandMessage onReceive(SandMessage msg)
  node instance configuration: incomingSyncSandMessage

outbound asynchronous message sends:

• void send(SandMessage msg)
  node instance configuration: outgoingAsyncSandMessage

Field Summary

protected java.lang.String	basePath A path specification which should be prepended to all TestScript file specifications.
