Hi Babak, Thanks for your reply, I stand corrected :-) I was actually looking in the testing section of the book (chpt. 6) and hadn't got down as far as chpt. 9, but it does indeed imply there is a race condition between the route and the main test thread, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
I was thinking of using a CountDownLatch in a similar fashion as the MockEndpoints until you pointed me in the direction of the NotifyBuilder. This seems to be working really nicely so I'm going to stick with that for now. Thanks again for your help, very much appreciated.
