Servlet in client mode

[ml-deb]

We are testing phase4 as a client.

We are wondering why is this necessary ? WebScopeManager.onGlobalBegin (MockServletContext.create ());
Because we won't be in a web application with servlet to send the messages.

Is this still necessary ? If yes, I imagine we would need to include this dependency as in the phase4 client example not in provided scope ?

<dependency>
      <groupId>jakarta.servlet</groupId>
      <artifactId>jakarta.servlet-api</artifactId>
</dependency>

As part of the surrounding framework, it contains elements called "scopes". A scope basically defines the lifetime of its contained objects. This also applies to "global variables". By having a scope that is created and deleted, also "global" variables can be safely cleansed etc.
This pattern is especially helpful in testing, when you can make sure, each test starts with a clean "global scope".

So yes, you need to include the servlet-api into your dependencies "unconditionally", In phase4-lib it is set with scope provided as application servers usually contain the dependency.
