I think it becomes more and more evident we need better integration testing when bringing any type of components into JBoss AS. E.g. I was looking into the recent integration of Bean Validation: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-7167 The one test added would most probably be suitable for a smoke test. We need more tests and better coverage for the common use cases, including the testing of remote client access. /Dimitris
