Hi! It would be nice to backport unit tests from Tomcat 7 to Tomcat 6.
Just some thoughts. 1. As far as I remember one of changes that allowed to create the Tomcat class and unit tests for Tomcat 7 was getting rid of org.apache.catalina.ServerFactory class that holds singleton reference to a Server instance. E.g. one of those changes: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=772142 My old thought about that singleton was that it could be circumwented if the test case created its own classloader like Bootstrap does it. Now I think that it can be solved more easily: Add #clear() method to ServerFactory class that would clear the singleton reference and call ServerFactory.clear() either during teardown of a test or at startup. 2. It would be nice to have CTR for the test subdirectory in tc6.0.x. An alternative could be to create a branch in tc6.0.x/branches or in sandbox and vote&merge from there.
