How do I write tests for contentWriter?

[piousbox]

I have the following code and it doesn't work.

import org.jbpm.graph.exe.ExecutionContext;

    public static NodeService nodeService;
    public static FileFolderService fileFolderService;

    public void setNodeService(NodeService nodeService) {

    }

    public NodeService getNodeService() {
        return this.nodeService;
    }

    public void setFileFolderService(FileFolderService fileFolderService) {
        this.fileFolderService = fileFolderService;
    }

    public FileFolderService getFileFolderService() {
        return this.fileFolderService;
    }

    // The execution method of workflow Action
    public void execute(ExecutionContext ctx) throws Exception {
        try {
            //fileFolderService = serviceRegistry.getFileFolderService();
            NodeRef docsroot = new NodeRef((String) ctx.getContextInstance().getVariable("packageref"));
//            String authorname = (String) ctx.getContextInstance().getVariable("authorname");

            //get the attached docs from the jBPM package nodeRef
            List<ChildAssociationRef> docs = this.nodeService.getChildAssocs(docsroot);
            for (int i = 0; i < docs.size(); i++) {
                //Only the doc with mediatecdoc aspect applied will generate the xml file
                if (this.nodeService.hasAspect(docs.get(i).getChildRef(), QName.createQName("{mediatec.document.model}mediatecdoc"))) {
                    this.generateXMLContent(docs.get(i).getChildRef(), this.nodeService, this.fileFolderService);
                }
            }
        } catch (Throwable e) {
            System.out.println(e.toString());
        }
    }

    // generate corresponding XML Content based on one of attached documents
    public void generateXMLContent(NodeRef doc, NodeService nodeService, FileFolderService fileFolderService) {

        String fileName = nodeService.getProperty(doc, QName.createQName("{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}name")) + ".xml";

        NodeRef folder = nodeService.getPrimaryParent(doc).getParentRef();

        FileInfo xmlFileInfo = fileFolderService.create(folder, fileName, ContentModel.TYPE_CONTENT);

        ContentWriter writer = fileFolderService.getWriter(xmlFileInfo.getNodeRef());

        String str = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?><Article>\n";

        if (nodeService.getProperty(doc, QName.createQName("{mediatec.document.model}article_id")) != null) {
            int article_id = (Integer) nodeService.getProperty(doc, QName.createQName("{mediatec.document.model}article_id"));
            str += "<Article_id><![CDATA[" + article_id + "]]></Article_id>\n";

        } 
        str+="</Article>";
        writer.putContent(str);
    }
}

how would I test it? Also, how would I log events in out/catalina.out ?

Thanks in advance.

I'd connect the java debugger to see what's going on.

And that catch block is swallowing an exception that would probably get reported if you remove or rethrow it.    Its generaly bad practice to swallow all Exceptions like that.

If you want to log stuff then log4j/commons logging is already configured in Alfresco.   Just follow the existing code patterns for obtaining a logger and logging either debug/warn/info or error.
