[Seaside] Adding 'test' to application list.

[Keith P. Hodges]

Avi et al,

I find myself wanting to have a standard way of instanciating a test 
environment for each of my components. Until recently I would build a 
custom Test Class wrapper for each component that was in effect an 
application in itself. This would  be along the lines of WATabsTest a 
minimal wrapper around and instanciator of WATabs

I see a number of disadvantages of this since it clutters up the 
configuration entry points list with my components and their 
equivalent test wrapper components.

Viewing the recent discussion on custom entry points for a component, 
I came up with the following... does this interest you?

1. change the /seaside/config WAApplicationList to add a link for to 
"configure" "remove" or "test" the installed app.

2. By default [WAControllerSession>>createRootFromRequest:] route 
requests to class methods on the component.

so request  path /seaside/mycomponent/test instanciates

WAMyComponent newTest.

I felt a prefix was necessary to group these entryPoint methods, but 
I wasnt sure that 'new*' was the best name. Perhaps 'open' , 'url', 
'entryPoint'.

comments thoughts?
