I need to look more into the Expectation classes.  As I indicated before, I 
was in the process of  coding some classes for the servlet package that are 
more like stubs when I encountered MOs.

Fair enough. I only just upgraded from 1.1.8 to 1.3.1 myself.

Let me lurk a bit to figure out where I might be useful.  (Normally, I 
wouldn't shoot my mouth off right after joining a list, but the AOP thread 
was something that caught my eye.)  At the moment, my personal interest in 
mocking (if that's the correct verb) the servlet stuff, since that's what 
I'm implementing and what I personally need to test.
