All, I've coded up a mini framework for Java end-to-end testing of Gadget rendering + 0.8 JS API + JSON requests + DataServiceServlet + Canonical JSON DB. DataServiceServlet could be swapped out easily for the abdera code, or we could even test both simultaneously if we wanted. I've also thrown in a few primitive tests of newFetchPersonRequest().
A patch is ready at: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-443 Could someone take a look and comment or commit? I'd like to write some more tests once this is checked in. Thanks, Adam Winer
