DoesSunTestServlets

When you see this, you start to ask yourself how Sun tests their Servlets in a simple repeatable manner, when there is all this baggage that you have to implement even for the simplest HelloWorld? servlet?

It should be easy for me to write:

HttpServletRequest? r = new MockServletRequest?(). r.addParamater("name","Tim");

MockOutPutStream? out = new MockOutputStream?(); HttpServletResponse? s = new MockServletResponse(out); myServelet.doGet(r,s);

assert(out.toString().indexOf(TEST_RESULT) > -1);

I haven't encountered any examples of this level of test, however maybe someone can prove me wrong!

In the meantime, Oli, Paul and I have been working around these difficulties to write useful tests. Some of this you can see in the RealCode, however there is more to come -- TimM³host³host62-172-224-130.btinternet.com³date³September 9, 1999³agent³Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows 98; DigExt?; UKPORTAL)³DoesSunTestServlets
