I'm not sure, but I think don't think that this is what Matt means. There are situations when it make sense to retrieve your beans directly via the blueprint.xml instead of mocking them. Situations are when you like to check if the file is correct or when you configure your persistence via blueprint and want to test it. AFAIK (as also said by KCTang) there is currently no way to do this in blueprint. Since springdm-2 also implements the blueprint spec there may be a workaround using spring-dm to retrieve beans from your blueprint files, though I'm wondering if it would be possible to extend Aries with such a blueprint test framework (similar to the one of spring)?
