In my view of testing software you have two different categories: * unit testing - almost no dependencies, like no containers * module testing - testing components in the production environment, or at least something close to it
I used MockEJB to test things like a complex class that for some reason had dependencies on the container interfaces: JNDI and JMS. It was very good for this and I was capable of asserting that my class was sending the expected messages. This was totally outside of the container, so, it is very fast, no need to have an AppServer, DBMS, etc. More important, my possible points of failure in these tests were my class, my test and of course MockEJB ;-) Best regards / Beste Grüße / Cumprimentos, Luis Sergio Oliveira -----Original Message----- From: Rod Macpherson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: terça-feira, 4 de Outubro de 2005 8:12 To: Cactus Users List; bala chandar Subject: RE: EJB Persistance Testing Question: why bother when you can test them for real? -----Original Message----- From: bala chandar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 03, 2005 9:51 PM To: Cactus Users List Subject: Re: EJB Persistance Testing hi martin, You can go for MockEJB to test CMP. It is purely outcontainer testing. You can use Junit with MockEJB to check the assertions.
