There will be 2 ways to run a server. 1. similar to how it works now as if it was running within the jbossas using the service container 2. Bootstrapped standalone directly with just the microcontainer. I prefer the second way altho' this doesn't test integration. thoughts? also, when Tim implements the new persistence mechanism do we really need to run all the tests against every database we support?
