I tried this morning, but it still have the same NullPointerException.
It seems that the begin method is called after the setUp method
(messages printed in the begin method never appear in the console). I
believed it is the contrary, isn't it ?

Server side test-case construction of Cacuts uses
constructor with one String argument ... or use the default
(i.e. no argument) constructor and setName method to specify
test method name to be executed.
So, your custom constructor is ignored in server-side.
If the parameter is determined at client-side in run-time,
you might use request parameter to pass it to server.
For example:
private Param param;
public ExampleTestCase(String name) {
super(name);
}
public ExampleTestCase(String name, Param param) {
this(name);
this.param = param;
}
public void begin(WebRequest request) {
request.addParameter("PARAM_NAME_FOR_TESTCASE", param.toString(),
WebRequest.POST_METHOD);
}
public void setUp() {
String paramStr = request.getParameter("PARAM_NAME_FOR_TESTCASE");
this.param = new Param(paramStr);
}
public void testXXX() {
....
}
Just an idea.
Hope this helps,
