[seam-dev] the parody of mocks in JSF

[Alaxander Smirnov]

I have an idea for the mock testing project. While Shale and all other 
projects use one base class where all mock objects are initialized, the 
new one can utilize Seam/WebBeans 'inverse of control' pattern, where 
necessary mock object should be injected in the same way as components use:

public class FooTest extends .... {

@in
private FacesContext context;

public void testBar() {
...............
context.get......
...............
}

Therefore all mock initialization code can be moved into separate class, 
that may be used with any test framework ( jUnit 3/4, testng.... ).
