FYI, Cactus was HTTP / Servlet / webapp focused until now ... Don't
forget that its goal is simply to provide server-side unit testing
capabilities (whatever server-side means :-) ). We focused on webapp
first, and are moving towards EJB (already in progress). The next step
we are preparing is to offer an SPI for redirector writers + custom
injectors. We're going to add JMS support soon (see
http://www.mail-archive.com/cactus-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg00999.html
for the details) but initially for MDBs. However, any protocol can be
added once we offer this public SPI (which is already there but not
public).
I agree it may not be exactly what you're interested in but thought you
might want to know about it.
Cheers,
