Looking in the source code for SeamTest.init() I see that it creates and initializes a servletContext and also creates conversationViewRootAttributes. I was thinking that recreating servletContext and conversationViewRootAttributes might be nedded in order to clear some context variables (that was set up during each test) - so that we can have a clean state of the container before each test. In this case maybe this functionality should be refactored out into the SeamTest.begin() method (which runs before each test method)?
