How to unit test with click-mock?

[Andrei Ionescu <ai...@yahoo.com>]

I red the available documentation but it's still not clear to me how to 
unit test using click-mock properly :(.

For the beginning, my application is using a ServletContextListener to 
do some stuff (like init embedded database, prepare some files, etc.) , 
but I don't seem to get it how to unit test if that listener is doing 
it's job correctly :(.
How do I simulate with click-mock that what a servlet container would 
do? to see if the ServletContextListener works as it should?

many thanks,
Andrei.

The mock support does not provide a full runtime environment of the servlet implementation e.g. 
filters and listeners aren't implemented. Neither is the web.xml parsed or interpreted.

It shouldn't be too hard to add mock listeners. However its worth thinking of when to mock and when 
to switch to something more realistic like automated Selenium or WebDriver tests against the running 
application.

kind regards
