Make it possible to use the camel testing functionality
-------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SWITCHYARD-348
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SWITCHYARD-348
             Project: SwitchYard
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: component-camel, test
            Reporter: Tom Fennelly
            Assignee: Tom Fennelly
             Fix For: 0.2


Camel provides test support via extension of it's base TestCase classes.  Would be nice to make this available to SwitchYard users, along with the existing test MixIn functionality.

I looked at adding the base test class as a MixIn i.e. the users test class would not actually extend the base camel test class.  I don't think this is not going to work however because of all the camel test annotations etc.  It really needs to be hooked in properly into the test by extension, as designed.

Our tests having to extend the SwitchYardTestCase is kinda getting in the way here I think. I'm actually starting to think it may be better to provide our MixIns as annotated properties on the test class, using a TestRunner to wire it all up.  I also think this will help us evolve towards tighter integration with Arquillian.

Something like...
{code}
@RunWith(SwitchYardRunner.class)
public class CoolTest {

    @MixIn
    private CDIMixIn cdiMixIn;

    // etc...
}
{code}

Then the test can be extended by the camel test classes.
