I can see why one might want to do that, if the default implementations that AbstractJsfTestCase wires up are insufficient. I haven't found that to be the case ... have you? If so, I would think we'd want to enhance the functionality of the framework's mock objects where appropriate, no matter what we do about adding protected methods to the abstract test case class.

My only concern is that having an application provide its own mock objects, instead of using the ones provided by the test framework (which will have presumably been tested fairly extensively due to wide use) would lead to a potential for hidden bugs due to flaws in the application's mock object implementation classes. Any thought? > > Gary > Craig
