hi, it seems that we have good start on tests documentation in doc\run.htm
however it does not explain how to compile tests and it seems that there is no tests target in build.xml. i have added tests target to build.xml together with junit dependency check. building tests target may need to be refined to do dependency checks - i did not feel very confident about doing it but i excluded shop/**.java if EJB is not present (building will require more testing for those that have EJB env set and running). also i am not sure about it but i think that tests should not have dependency on samples (currently for example tests need class addressbook.wsifservice.AddressBook from samples) so to make them run i have made sure that samples are compiled before compiling tests. finally i have added junit target to run tests conveniently from ant but had no luck to pass *any* test: junit: [junit] [junit] path 'xml-axis-wsif' does not exist! BUILD FAILED C:\Forge\xml-axis-wsif\java\build.xml:327: Test util.WSIFTestRunner failed Total time: 5 seconds so i tried to run it from command line and using system property wsif.path and still no luck ...
