I ran your test for the fully qualified name after reviewing it and it passes. Was your concern that writing the test was too hard or too coarse grained to do? It's true, it would be nice to just test the name resolution, as opposed going through the entire flow and initializing/communicating with an actual container. If that's what you mean by "complex" - I think adding unit tests for the Java proxy makes sense. +1
Otherwise, your test is fine. I made a small change locally just to be paranoid. https://github.com/rabbah/openwhisk/commit/7d6cf94fc587390ec97fe27313d352 62c38dfdc9 -r
