Can we share these mocks like we discussed for graph validation - RF imports the module from the "Seam" space - but the Seam module doesn't depend on other Seam code?

Alex Smirnov has been working on this to help with RF 4.0 development. Perhaps we can collaborate.

It's hard to believe that for as long as JSF has been around, the only decent repository of mocks for the JSF API comes not from the implementation, but rather from all but dead and irrelevant project at Apache (Shale). Of course, Seam 2 forged it's own path and has a healthy set of mocks, although still somewhat incomplete and vagrant. In the Seam 3 spirit of modularity, I would like to migrate the Seam 2 mocks into a mock module in Seam 3 that provides mock/stub object for various Java EE APIs. I plan to categorize them by spec under the org.jboss.seam.mock folder
JSF - org.jboss.seam.mock.faces
Servlet - org.jboss.seam.mock.servlet
etc
This module should not depend on any other module so that it is easy to reuse, perhaps even outside of the Seam framework. Perhaps seam-mock can end up replacing Shale test. Who knows. We'll just let it play out. Please contribute your ideas/use cases!

As for the functionality, my feeling is that the mocks should be functional as long as each class behaves like a bean. That means it shouldn't parse XML documents or make similar assumptions. But they should be easy enough to extend that perhaps you can add that functionality in your test case or we can think about providing an additional subclass or helper if the need is common (perhaps parsing an web.xml document).
