Yes : it is intended to run test suites that could be part of a batch task
RefleX itself is tested with XUnit, and it takes a while before ending 
when all the tests suites are run at once

To call an ESB service you'll have to perform some additional processes 
on the output ; it is not so hard to wrap some java code inside an 
active tag to invoke just after your test suite

the error type and the message will tell you what kind of differences 
occurred :
<error type="Attribute existence">
     Missing attribute country="france"
</error>

Although I described in the documentation the report structure, I omit 
to list the error types :) I'll fix it soon...
