Hi,
 
Cactus is a unit-testing framework for server side java code. HttpUnit is not a teting 
tool but aprovides an API for interacting with HTML and HTTP server. You use HttpUnit 
in conjuction with JUnit to write tests. The best way to start is by going through 
some good Extreme Programming Book. Also you can go through the book by Vincent Masool 
;).
 
Cheers,
Nishit

        They're both based off of Junit, and they both test your application,
        but at different levels.
        
        Cactus tests ejb interfaces (and without some mockobjects going on, will
        test all that that encompases (database access, etc).  HttpUnit tests
        from your web interface and generally does a complete system test.  
         From a system perspective, the HttpUnits are probably more essential,
        but from a TDD perspective, cactus testing is needed to build the code
        properly.  Personally, I use both, but would rather stay away from web
        development and thus HttpUnit tests.
