  Hi all,

  First of all thanks for the framework, it is of unvaluable use. Great =
work.=20

thanks :)

  We have been developping servlets and were doing in-container testing =
up to recently. The limitations that we encountered forced us to look =
for a different testing=20

I would be interested in hearing these as I'm participating to both =
Cactus (in-container testing) and Mock Objects. I have my own ideas on =
the pros and cons of each but would be very interested to hear from =
someone who has really used both approaches, on a real project.

  approach until we read about mock objects. We used the mock objects =
servlet package, extended it for our own use, measured the benefits then =
decided to develop a mock objects JMS package (it works fine and serves =
us well). Now we plan to convert all our DAO unit tests to using mock =
objects.

  Like with JUnit tests, since we tried mock objects, we have a hard =
time doing our tests any different way. So if you guys would accept some =
help we would be pleased to participate in the effort, being addicted =
mock objects users ourselves!

that's really great to hear ! :o) Welcome aboard.  I fear we haven't had =
as much time as we would like so far and any help is welcome. Have a =
look at CVS and choose what you'd like to do. Unfortunately we've not =
made a todo list yet. Maybe you could propose items for the todo list =
and volunteer for some of them ? These are the different areas where you =
could help :
- improve existing code and especially code that is not finished. The =
servlet mocks for example are far from being finished.
- improve build process
- improve web site documentation
- help answer to mailing-lists posts
- promote mock objects around you (I'm sure you're already doing that !)
- anything else you might think of

  Regards,
  Vincent Tenc=E9
