What kind of testing? What kinds of errors are you trying to catch?
JUnitEE is great for testing business logic, but if you want to exercise
Maverick controllers you either need Mock Objects for the
maverick/servlet objects or you need to test them live in the servlet
container. If you're testing them in the servlet container, you really
need something like HTTPUnit - you're not really running JUnit tests,
you're exercising the HTTP frontend.
Personally, I focus on unit testing the business logic (stored in EJBs
and application-domain classes) and leave the frontend logic (including
Maverick controllers) to eyeball functional testing. Since I've pushed
all the high-risk logic into the backend, testing the frontend is more a
question of is it formatted properly rather than does it display the
right numbers.
If you have unit tests for your business classes, and load test scripts
to verify that you get the right pages when you navigate your
application, you should be pretty well covered.

Jeff, why wouldn't you consider using JUnitEE for this?

I don't know of anything - anyone else?

I'm currently trying figure out how to unit test the maverick
controllers
(classes that implement Controller) which I've written.
I've been looking at jakarta cactus and I think it has promise for
the
purpose.
Could you point me to some resource on the internet that would
give me
some
detailed examples of the best way to unit test Maverick
controllers?
Preferably examples that use Cactus?
