Well... yes, but not by the container. When my container deploys a DatabaseConnection component, I don't want it to validate that dropDatabaseAndPurgeAllBackups() works as advertised. Conformance testing should be done by the component developer prior to distributing the component. The problem is that the conformance testing either: 1. Will have side effects or 2. Will not exercize the live code Since the container can't always set up a dummy environment. (And then we have to validate the dummy environment.) /LS --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
