Spring Webflow: Unit testing with Parent flows
Recently I had to test a webflow that extended a parent webflow. The documentation didn't offer much in the way of help but did suggest that you use getModelResources() method to register additional flows from the AbstractXmlFlowExecutionTests class @Override protected FlowDefinitionResource[] getModelResources(FlowDefinitionResourceFactory resourceFactory) { FlowDefinitionResource[] flowDefinitionResources = new FlowDefinitionResource[1]; flowDefinitionResources[0] = resourceFactory.createFileResource("src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/flows/base-flow.xml"); return flowDefinitionResources; } Great!
