Hello All,
Can I use Cactus to test EJBs?
The web page says J2ee unit... but talks only about servlets and http.
I'll greatly appreciate any help.
regards,
Abhishek.

Subject: [Announcement] Mock Object project
Hi all,
I have decided to help the SourceForge Mock Object project
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/mockobjects or http://www.mockobjects.com)
in making it a thriving and reference project in the domain of Mock Objects
!
My idea is that I think it would be stupid to reinvent the wheel within
Cactus and redevelop a mock object implementation for the Servlet API,
Taglib API, filter API, EJB API, .... I much prefer to integrate with a
well-known and thriving existing framework for MO ! As there is no such
project at the current time, the goal is to transform the SF mockobjects
project into that and rely on it within Cactus.
I would like to have your opinion on that and I would very much like to have
your support and everyone interested in Mock Objects should also come and
help us in this endeavour ... lets unite our forces and make a reference MO
project !
We'll have to write a bridge in Cactus to be able to use as is the classes
from the mockobjects project but we'll be in a good position to do so if we
are participating in both projects (that's also the idea). I also believe in
mockobjects and actually would like to explore more this domain as I still
consider myself a novice in that domain.
The goal is still to make Cactus the preferred framework for doing server
side unit testing, as it is obviously adding new features on top of a mock
object framework (methodology, IC, PF, unit testing integrated with an
automatic builds strategy, ...). However there will be an easy path for
persons who start developing using the mockobjects classes and then who
later want to use Cactus because they need its additional features. So I see
the 2 projects as complementary rather than in competition.
Your thoughts ?
Thanks
-Vincent
