Description

If you have a renderer that makes a call like this:

ExternalContextUtils.getServletContextPath(context.getExternalContext());

Then, when running a surefire test for a component that uses such a renderer, a ClassCastException will be thrown where some underlying code is expecting a javax.servlet.ServletContext however, a org.apache.myfaces.trinidadinternal.renderkit.MApplication is provided instead. Perhaps MApplication needs to implement/extend ServletContext or otherwise ExternalContextUtils.getServletContextPath() needs to return a dummy value when running surefire tests.
