Claude, The DebugRequest, DebugResponse and DebugQuery classes were made to do exactly this sort of thing.
You setup a (static) main within the tag class as you would during normal test development. Create instances of a DebugRequest, DebugResponse and, if necessary, a DebugQuery. The DebugRequest constructs with a Hashtable whose contents will become the tag attributes and the DebugQuery class constructs with arrays for the column and row data. Then you instantiate your tag class and pass the debug instances to the processRequest and your tag functions exactly as if it were called by the Server. (These things are covered in much greater detail in all the links I sent you earlier in this thread.) Using the debug classes will provide for you the exact same environment that the Server provides - it was the whole point of making them. rish > -----Original Message----- > From: Claude Schneegans [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sunday, September 18, 2005 4:25 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: Developing a CFX tag in Java > > >>Have you considered creating a main in your tag and using > the DebugRequest and DebugResponse classes to test your tag? > > How can this work?
