Sounds good except for that: - JMS provides only interfaces, so he will have to fully implement the message interface to be actually able to instantiate a message. A mock implementation should do. - If you are going to adopt this approach then you do not even need Cactus. You can instantiate the MDB in a regular JUnit test and invoke onMessage. Unless of course you are using other container resources like DataSource.

Instead, create the appropriate Message object yourself, then simply invoke onMessage(). (If you need to, fake it.) Avoid sending the Message through the EJB container to eliminate an unnecessary layer of complexity. Good luck. -- J. B.
