I looked at the recommendadtions for running tests against the MC (as opposed to JMX) and I feel that pursuing it is the right approach, but perhaps not right at this moment. Given that the MC will replace JMX, running test cases against the MC will have to happen, and not just for JMS tests. Any framework designed should also be applicable to other classes of test cases. At present, even with AB's detailed design sketches, it's not clear ( to me :-( ) how elements common to most test cases should be organised - whether by delegation or through the use of QueueRequestors. I think we should have a detailed design of this new framework, which will essentially supercede JBossTestCase, and agreement on the design, before embarking on such significant changes. Therefore, i'm going to start applying the simplified refactoring today, taking JMS test cases from the jbossmq directory, refactoring them, and placing the refactored versions in jbossmessaging directory. When this is complete, we will have a set of generic JMS tests which will apply to either JMS provider, running in the context of the AS.
