Hi,
I'll give you some background to my problem. I use ProcessInfoProvider
for accessing environmental data because I've read[1] that it is a
proffered way to do this in Cocoon 2.2. Now, I would like to write tests
for Spring beans depending on ProcessInfoProvider. I thought that it
makes sense to provide mock implementation and register it in
AbstractTestCase, similarly to how settings is registered; see my commit
r558983[2].
I think, that it should work well and I think that it makes sense to
register ProcessInfoProvider implementation in AbstractTestCase because
this component provides access to environment and should be easily
available for every test. The problem is that ProcessInfoProvider refers
to javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest and in AbstractTestCase request
is created with type org.apache.cocoon.environment.Request.
I'm puzzled what to do in such case, do you have any suggestion?

After exploring code for a while I came to conclusion that I need to implement stub implementation of HttpServletRequest,
HttpServletResponse and ServletContext that will forward to Cocoon's corresponding classes.
Additionally, I've read /[RT] Ditching the environment abstraction/ thread[1] where Daniel proposed to switch to standard servlet interfaces
from Cocoon's own ones. I've seen that several folks were rather reluctant[2][3] to allow these changes. There were concerns raised[4] that
some methods in our interfaces has no counterparts in Servlet API interfaces.
Since ProcessInfoProvider operates on interfaces from Servlet API I wonder if
community's standpoint changed to date.
Carsten, it was you who introduced ProcessInfoProvider interface, could you
comment?
