Is there a way to force JUnit to fail on ANY unchecked exception, even if swallowed

I am using JUnit to write some higher level tests for legacy code that does not have unit tests.

I have a bean that has a couple of beans injected with the autowire annotation (no qualifier).

How do I override the Contains method of IQueryable during a unit test?

So here's the thing: I've got an app that I'm testing that uses LINQ to Entities (EF4/.NET4). The app binds to an implementation of the Contains method that ignores nulls and, due to the way the database is configured, ignores case. That works great. However, when I call into the same methods from my unit tests, I'm passing in a fake co...
