Hi Ray;
Thanks for your reply.
I would like to test the application from outside, but in addition, I
want to be able to test various algorithms which have been encapsulated
in 'helpers' within the application; hence the need to launch the
application within the same virtual machine as the tests are running from.
cheers.

Hello;
A colleague and I are trying something at the moment; trying to launch a WOA
from a thread within a JUnit test running out of Eclipse.
We had some problems with the runtime not finding the main bundle (of course) and added
the .woa in the ${workspacehome}/build directory. The problem is that now
seems to be not finding components' classes which are clearly in;
${workspacehome}/build/XYZ.woa/Contents/Resources/Java/...
We're launching the WOA with;
XYZApplication.main(args);
Has anybody tried this before? :)
Regards;

Wow. And I thought I had tried some weird things. This is ... interesting. But
weird.
I suspect that the problem in this chain is junit. How junit sets up its
classpath can be a bother. But then I do not run junit tests from eclipse. I
run them from ant. Or I invoke the tests directly in my woa.
It may seem strange but I suspect you would have more luck with starting with a
java command-line invocation that launches you WOA. I assume your tests are
trying to launch that so that they can be clients of the app, yes? So, can your
tests access the WOA when it is launched on the command-line?
You can, within java, construct an exec call which invokes java. You can,
within java, construct an exec call which invokes java which launched your WOA.
You will have more control of the setup of the wo app if you launch it that
way. Then, can you have your junit test run the code that launches your woa?
This could work, no? Now you are making me wonder if I can do this from ant for
Project Wonder testing
cheers - ray
