That's a really interesting problem Grant, thanks for the feedback!

I have definitely struggled with the same issue extensively. Generally, whe=
n
I find a smell that's bothering me in my test code, I go start searching
junit.org <http://junit.org> to see if some java person has had similar
issues, as it turns out with this particular problem - fortunately - we're
not alone!

The first and most important thing that you can possibly do, is stop testin=
g
your server with your client. Your client and server should each be tested
independently of the network and of each other.

There are quite a few great articles on junit.org
<http://junit.org>discussing this very topic for Java applications.
Here are a few links I
found:
