I've just committed simple API test code up to the ESME project.  The key
pieces are at:

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/esme/trunk/server/src/test/scala/org/apache/esme/api/ApiTest.scala?revision=834618&view=markup
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/esme/trunk/server/src/test/scala/org/apache/esme/JettySetup.scala?revision=834618&view=markup

After spending 30 minutes with the Lift TestKit, I'm wicked unhappy with
it... but that will change later today. ;-)
