Description

I suggest that the following methods be added into formTester:

1. formTester.setValue(Component component, String value); // Instead of just the String path version

2. formTester.submit(IFormSubmittingComponent button (or suitable superclass)); // Instead of just the String path version

Furthermore, I suggest incorporating the following abstract ListView implementation:

public abstract class TestableListView<ListItemType extends ListItem<ItemType>, ItemType> extends ListView<ItemType> {
public TestableListView(String id, IModel<List<ItemType>> model)

{ super(id, model); }

public TestableListView(String id, List<ItemType> list)

{ super(id, list); }

public TestableListView(String id)

{ super(id); }

@Override
protected final void populateItem(ListItem<ItemType> item)

{ // do nothing here }

@Override
protected abstract ListItemType newItem(int index);

@Override
public Iterator<ListItemType> iterator()

{ return (Iterator<ListItemType>) super.iterator(); }

}
