Exactly. We should not forget that Cactus is a *unit* testing tool, i.e.
it gives you the ability to test classes at the method level. It's not
there to unit test your doGet()/doPost() Servlet method as this can also
be done from the outside. It is there to unit test all other methods
using container objects.
Thus, as with every unit test, you need to setup the environment in
which the test will run. For Web environments, this can mean :
- HTTP cookies,
- HTTP parameters
- values in the HTTP session
- etc.
