We've created a few JUnit rules to ease the pain of starting up locator/servers in different vms. Please check these rules out:
LocatorServerStartupRule: this rule will allow you to easily start up locator/server in a give VM with the properties you would like to configure them, and get the member's name, port, working directory back to work with. To use this rule, your dunit test DO NOT need to extend Junit4DistributedTest class. LocatorStartupRule: This will allow you to start up a locator in the current VM. good for integration tests. ServerStrartupRule: This will allow you to start up a server in the current VM. good for integration tests. GfshShellConnectorRule: This will give allow you to connect to a give jmx manager or a locator and easily execute gfsh command with it. MBeanServerConnectorRule This will allow you to directly connect to the jmx manager using mbean connection. Please let me know if you run into problems when using these rules. There is always room for improvement. -- Cheers Jinmei
