Hi Grant,
Thanks for your interest in the testing stuff.
Sorry I've not committed the cactus stuff yet. I need to get my
thoughts together in an new thread that Sean can comment on because
there will be additional build stuff in place (cargo to start/stop
containers, packaging a new war file to distribute the cactus tests
in etc.) and I want the changes to fit with Sean's continued vision
of the build process.
In the mean time we could use mock objects. Although the class you
refer to (ServletFacesContextImpl) is particularly hard to test
because the lack of default config setup that happens during out of
container testing.
I have a test for the Factory that could be used as the starting
point of a factory setup so that the rest of the required stuff could
be mocked for the facescontext impl. I will get that checked in asap
(SVN appears to be down again).
TTFN,

Bill,
The current testing setup is great for objects that are container-
independent. Any indication when we'll be able to test things that
need to live in a container, like FacesContextImpl ? I assume we'll
need cactus for that, although if you know of any tricks to test
container-dependent objects, that would be valuable information :)
Another question for cactus gurus: is cactus portlet friendly ?
Thanks,
Grant
