[MO-java-users] How do you test code that uses getSession(true)?

[Jeff D. <Jef...@no...>]

How do I write a unit test for code where I create the Session in the code
I'm testing with _request.getSession(true) ?

I'm getting  a notImplemented Exception. I figure that this is a pretty
basic thing that there is some type of workaround.

Thanks,

Jeff
