local transport testing

[Brandon Richins]

I would like to create a test for calling a service that is created from a Java 
first approach.  I have tried the below test code as an example without 
success.  I get an error complaining about the local protocol.

 java.net.MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: local
        at java.net.URL.<init>(URL.java:574)
        at java.net.URL.<init>(URL.java:464)
        at org.apache.cxf.tools.util.URLFactory.createURL(URLFactory.java:42)
        at org.apache.cxf.tools.util.URLFactory.createURL(URLFactory.java:36)

Back in the Xfire days I could use the XFireProxyFactory to create a service 
from an interface using the local transport.  I have even tried using the 
JaxWsClientFactoryBean.create but I got a ClassCastException.

Any suggestions on how to use a local client would be very helpful.  I'd prefer 
to avoid embedded Jetty and http for now if possible.

Thanks,

Brandon

@Before
public void before() throws Exception {
   endpoint = Endpoint.publish("local://Echo", new EchoImpl());
   URL wsdl = URLFactory.createURL("local://Echo?wsdl");        

   //URL wsdl = new URL("local://Echo?wsdl"); //didn't work.  complained that 
local was unknown
   QName serviceName = new QName("org.foo", "EchoImpl");
   Service service = Service.create(wsdl, serviceName);
   echoClient = service.getPort(Echo.class);
}

@Test
public void testService() {
   Assert.assertEquals("Hello World", echoClient.echo("Hello World"));
}

@After
public void after() {
   endpoint.stop();
}
