Hi, My problem has gone away. A short FYI on how I got past this problem...
First I tried adding a new request Builder method in QaModule using the shadowbuilder service that would build my TestRequest. But that didn't work because of a Request service implementation collision with predeclared (in TapModule) service Request.class interface implementation. Only 1 Request interface implementation is allowed, and TapModule beats me to the punch. I don't want to mess with TapModule at all, so I abandoned this approach. I ended up doing a minor kludge to sidestep this issue. My new service layer method works NPE-free now. private Visit getVisit() { Request request = this.request; assert(request!=null); assert(requestGlobals!=null); Request currentRequest = requestGlobals.getRequest(); if (currentRequest==null) { //only during unit testing will currentRequest be null //for testing we use a Mock request. requestGlobals.storeRequestResponse(new TestRequest(), null); } currentRequest = requestGlobals.getRequest(); assert(currentRequest!=null); boolean visitExists = applicationStateManager.exists(Visit.class); assert(visitExists); Visit visit = applicationStateManager.get(Visit.class); assert(visit!=null); return visit; } Thanks for your help guys.
