Re: DNA TCK?

Hi,

From what I understand you are looking for a way to validate the container
correctly supports DNA components? If so then there is nothing right now
that does that. It would something useful to have but we just have not got
around to doing it. I guess what we would need to do is have something that
generated components that had

* all the different combinations of lifecycle interfaces
* verified lifecycle stages called in correct order
* verified that all resources passed in were non-null
* verified that all the resources passed in matched corresponding metadata
(ie conformed to schema, had correct resources present, etc)

However it becomes very difficult to test other things like whether the
component is protected against accessing things that it didn't declare,
whether the components that dont pass verifier checks are allowed etc.

I dunno. How do you see it working?
