testing question

Hello,

I'm trying to set up testing for a turbine application I have. I'd like to
do this with maven 2 and cactus.

I've already tried some combinations, but none satisfactory so far. One of
the problems I run into is the database setup. Many test scenarios with
turbine are described without any database integration.  I'd like to use
hsqldb. Torque 3.1.1 that comes with turbine 2.3.2 doesn't shut down
correctly the initial definition, so in my tests I cannot startup as in
production, and then change the configuration in the setup of the tests.
What I'm trying now is that in the maven pom the torque.properties gets
overwritten by a testversion when I'm in the test phase. I'm not sure if
this is the right way, though..

Also, maven 2 seems only to be integrated with cactus since cactus 1.8.1,
which isn't out yet..
I was wondering if someone has found a good and proven setup.

Regards,
Bo
