Are there any examples of using these mock objects anywhere?

Is it incorrect to do this when unit testing; several of the methods provided seem helpful in unit testing also. Would it be feasible to override init so that the embedded container is not started for stand alone unit test (or maybe have something like SeamUnitTest?
| | * In general I seem to be having difficulties writing unit test because it occurs over and over again that some method is accessing a variable that is within scope during normal program executions e.g. in the code above currentUser is within scope but is not injected into the component that is accessing it. Is this bad practice? I tested re-writing the class that I am trying to test to contain and instance of the currentUser object injected using @In and then accessing that object from the method that performs the query and this works, both in the application and in my unit test if I manually inject that object.

Did you ever figure out the answers to these excellent questions? I'm writing some unit tests and I'm running into some of your issues, especially the second issue (re: extending SeamTest for unit tests). I'm trying to avoid extending SeamTest in my unit tests. However, there's one nagging issue I have when doing this. Because the code I'm testing contains logging statements where the log object is injected using the @Logger annotation, TestNG always barfs with a null pointer exception when it encounters a logging statement in the code... Perhaps I can mock the log object. Any hints here?
