Wow, it's quite here...I wonder what's going on a JavaONE???

Anyway, totally agree with you, Mushtaq.  JUnit is *the* tool for=20
testing...  Jakarta Cactus is built on top of JUnit, and has a TestServlet=
=20
class which your test-case extends, such that your test case is running as=
=20
a servlet in a J2EE container, as compared to your test running as a simple=
=20
java client in a private test JVM.   This is my prefreed way test EJBs,=20
since this Servlet 2 EJB scenario better represents how my EJBs are being u=
sed.

BTW, anyone know of any *free* test tools that will allow you to define=20
your tests via JavaDoc tags ala XDoclet?  (I know of one tool whose name=20
escapes me , but said tool has a license fee & proprietary execution=20
environment attached).  What about performance measuring tools for server=20
side components?

Cheers,
Frank
