Hi, One more topic to discuss: Currently integration tests run using communication using JSON contentType only. For new CXF-based tests we are going to run every tests twice: with XML and JSON [1].
JUnit proposes elegant solution using parameterized tests: http://junit.sourceforge.net/javadoc/org/junit/runners/Parameterized.html . Basically it works fine, but unfortunately (as Francesco already noted) individual tests cannot be executed from Surefire or Failsafe plugins as well as from some IDEs. The problem is that Parameterized runner expect individual test description in form ClassName#MethodName[Number]. This form cannot be specified in maven command line, because method name will be not correctly resolved. I do not see any acceptable solution for Parameterized runner now and propose following alternatives: 1. Create two classes per each test inherited from common parent for all CXF tests (e.g. AuthenticationTestXMLTestITCase, AuthenticationTestJsonTestITCase). Always run both variants. 2. Leave single test classes and configure contentType in AbstractTest with default value JSON. Normally run only JSON tests (like now). Make XML tests runnable via separate profile / configuration. 3. ... WDYT? Regards, Andrei. [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SYNCOPE-289
