It seems what you are really trying to do is functional testing rather than
unit testing. However, functional testing is also possible with Cactus
although the main benefit is unit testing. Now, why would you want to assert
the output of the JSP on the server side ?
I think what you want to write is :
public class MyJspTest extends JspTestCase
{
public void testXXX()
{
pageContext.forward("/some/path/myjsp.jsp");
// (optional) assert values that the JSP would put in the session or
pageContext or servlet context scope. In your example, there are none.
}
// With Cactus 1.2:
public void endXXX(WebResponse theResponse)
{
assertEquals("Hello World!", theResponse.getText());
}
// With Cactus 1.1:
public void endXXX(HttpURLConnection theConnection)
{
assertEquals("Hello World!",
AssertUtils.getResponseAsString(theConnection));
}
}
Hope it helps.

Note: You can do the same by extending ServletTestCase and forwarding to
your JSP using a request dispatcher (see the cactus samples)
