Re: [Cppunit-devel] distributed environment

[Baptiste L. <gai...@fr...>]

I was about to suggest something among the same line:
- on the server side, grab the root suite. Traversing the test hierarchy
from the root suite, rebuild a hierarchy made of test proxy that can be
called from the client (the Test::run() also need to transport the Exception
that may be thrown).
- on the client side, retrieve the test proxy root suite and pass it to the
MFC test runner.

I think that implementing this can be fairly simple: you 'only' need a
generic implementation of the test proxy, one for the server side, and one
for the client side, as well as transporting CppUnit::Exception information.
