I'd really prefer to do what has been proposed as a best practice and write tests using the same OFBiz framework tools that we use to write applications, like simple-methods, services, etc...
But yes, it is possible to call a service through a web request and there is one in the webtools wecapp that has been there for years. The trick is you have to set export="true" for all services called this way, which is another reason to do logic-level test (including service calls) in a more black-box way, especially if they are not for testing things that are intended to be available externally.

Assuming an automated web browser type technology is the way to go for testing... What does everyone think of having an option to run a service synchronously from webtools?This would allow a lot of clever asserts from the test tool? Without theneed to make the tool dispatcher aware? Would this be an adequate approach? -- Kind Regards Andrew Sykes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sykes Development Ltd http://www.sykesdevelopment.com
