Bug 129488

I think incoming and outgoing BC's would make it quite cumbersome because it would need to deal with every BC component
we have.

Have you looked at the JBIMockTestingFramework?
http://wiki.open-esb.java.net/Wiki.jsp?page=JBIMockFramework

I imagine that it should be possible to integrate this with CASA somehow so that you could right-click on a
ServiceEngine SU in CASA and "generate unit test" which would build the test case and deploy a small SU which
communicates "direct" to the 'provides' port of the SU you want to unit test. I guess that UnitTest SU would need to be
deployed to a special BC or somewhere in Glassfish so that it can communicate to the NMR to invoke the SU to be unit tested.

I agree that it would be very useful so that it would be possible to unit test both SU's and SA's which do not include a
SOAP/HTTP endpoint.

> There does not appear to be any way to write custom unit tests inside a composite application.  I think we need a
"built-in" way to write more controlled JUnit / in-container tests and should include a Test Packages folder in our
Composite App project for consistency with other NB projects for writing / running these tests.

automate the movement of files and assert the expected output.  The existing comp app testcase functionality seems to be
limited to SOAP / HTTP input and does not support a file binding.  I think we need a couple of things here:
