Actually, you can do a lot with the Shale mock objects. It's not just limited
to testing a ViewController. For example, you can test the rendering of a component.
This example registers component renderers, invokes rendering and checks
the rendered html.
The ViewController is a managed bean that implements and interfaces so the
testing is not limited to just ViewControllers. It works with any managed bean.
