RE: [Andromda-user] testcases

[Anthony M. <to...@am...>]

Jonathan and I are in the progress of coding up a JUnit template for sess=
ion
beans.  We have something that 'works' in some simple cases at least.

It generates a test for every method on the session bean.  The initial
values was a problem, but I did cheap guess.  For DTO's I used the defaul=
t
constructer 'new SomeDTOClass()' and for primitive values I made some bes=
t
guesses.  You can have a look at:
  src/sample/project-template/ejbTemplate/src/templates

It certainly could be better, but it's a start.
