Hmm... Not easy to do. It'll be very easy to perform with Cactus2. ATM, I would suggest not using Cactus for unit testing MDBs. Use the approach suggested by JB, i.e. mockobjects + JUnit (the JMS API lends itself quite nicely to this approach). I have a full chapter on unit testing EJBs including MDBs in my JUnit in Action book if you're interested. > > Also, is there any documentation on how to use the JMSRedirector? This is work I had started some time ago but I've never finished it. It's not in a usable state (it's in a branch in CVS somewhere).
