Testing a data source-based application using JUnit and IBM Rational Application Developer

This article describes a technique to test data source-based components that are deployable in an application server (such as WebSphere Application Server Version 6.0.2), using JUnit on the IBM Rational Application Developer Version 7.0 platform. The sample component in this article is a simple Java-based application that provides a simple user authentication service. The article is targeted at developers who are familiar with the JUnit framework, and who have working knowledge of Rational Application Developer.
