[Dev] soapui test runner integration

[Frank Cohen]

William wrote in an IM: "We are moving SOAPIU to its own JVM and also  
figuring out the best way to execute the tescases. I noticed you  
created the analogy of the SoapUI xml being a package like a jar  
(resuorces), the testsuite like the class and the testusecase as the  
method. That will left open the possibility of havng more that one  
soapui xml in the resource and thus the ability to create more that  
one run testcase from several soapui suites."

Will it be that there is a single instance of soapui's testrunner in  
a single JVM? What's the overhead to starting a VM for each test  
case? For instance, I could see a script like:


<testusecase>
   <setup name="mysoapuitest" testclass="myTestSuite"
       method="starttest" langtype="soapui"/>
   <run name="mysoapuitest" testclass="myTestSuite"
       method="myTestCase" langtype="soapui"/>
   <teardown name="mysoapuitest" testclass="myTestSuite"
       method="endtest" langtype="soapui"/>
</testusecase>


in which case how many VM's does TM create?
