Since it's JUnit, look at the TestSetup class, which wraps an entire suite of tests. Here's an example of a TestSetup class that uses Cargo to start and stop Tomcat for the tests. If you already have the code to start and stop your LDAP server and database, you could do the same thing. http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/shale/framework/trunk/shale-test/src/main/java/org/apache/shale/test/cargo/CargoTestSetup.java Geoffrey also mentioned Cargo... not incidentally, it's always been intended as a generic container manipulation tool, so having it stop and start databases and ldap servers would be great. It's just that no one has done it yet. :) -- Wendy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
