GWT: Getting 404 when submitting AJAX request in my GWTTestCase - ajax

Question

I'm using Eclipse Indigo on win XP and trying to write a GWT test case for my GWT 2.4 application. Specifically, I'm trying to test an AJAX request, but I'm getting a 404. I thought GWT will spin up its own server in hosted mode? My code is
public class GetHtmlTest extends GWTTestCase {
public void gwtSetUp() {
...
submitButton = new Button();
DOM.setElementAttribute(submitButton.getElement(), "id", Productplus_gwt.SUBMIT_BUTTON_ID);
...
}
#Test
public void testSuccessEvent() {
nameField.setText(VALID_ID);
submitButton.click();
Timer timer = new Timer() {
public void run() {
final Element contentDiv = DOM.getElementById(Productplus_gwt.CONTENT_DIV_ID);
final String divText = contentDiv.getInnerText();
assertNotNull(divText);
assertEquals(-1, divText.toLowerCase().indexOf("error") );
finishTest();
}
};
timer.schedule(100);
delayTestFinish(2000);
} // testSuccessEvent
Ultimately, clicking the button causes this AJAX call ...
productPlusService.getHtml(docId, new AsyncCallback<String>() {
public void onFailure(Throwable caught) {
submitButtonElement.setAttribute("enabled", Boolean.TRUE.toString());
contentDiv.setInnerHTML("<span>Error: " + caught.getMessage() + "</span>");
}
public void onSuccess(String result) {
submitButtonElement.setAttribute("enabled", Boolean.TRUE.toString());
contentDiv.setInnerHTML(result);
// Format tabs
postHtmlProcessing();
}
});
I run the test by right clicking on it, selecting "Run As" and "GWT Test Case". The error in the console was
[WARN] 404 - POST /com.myco.clearing.productplus.Productplus_gwt.JUnit/getHtml (10.40.70.197) 1444 bytes

Any ideas what's going wrong? Thanks, - Dave

For JUnit tests, you have to declare your servlets in your module's gwt.xml using the <servlet path="..." class="..." /> element.
