And I'm saying that is what jboss embedded should give you.
If you're using the integration project then it's just another
implementation of that spi.

Obviously, you can use both. My argument was
that testing against the real implementations in your testsuite
is not a replacement for real integration tests in the appserver.
And like I said before, if you just use the working implementations,
you aren't going to be able to test all sorts of error conditions
that mocks can produce, either on demand or at random.
You're right of course.
For JBM 2.0 I aim to get our test code refactored so there's a very
clean separation between unit tests and integration tests, with each
component testing against mocks, and eventually pushing out the
integration tests into a separate layer.
You'll have software that runs fine until there are errors
you didn't expect or haven't encountered.
