Maybe GTest too ? ( used in tomcat3.3, with duplicates in watchdog and I
believe tomcat 4.0 - or something very similar at leat ).
It's XML based, implemented as a group of Ant tasks:
http://jakarta.apache.org/cvsweb/index.cgi/~checkout~/jakarta-tomcat/src/tests/webpages/WEB-INF/test-tomcat.xml
The main issue is that right now there are few hundreds tests for tomcat
based on GTest - so any testing framework that can be adopted by
tomcat should at least support the same features and provide a way to run
the current DTD.
( it is similar with HttpUnit - if I understand what HttpUnit does )

I'm working on this - we use such a thing on tomcat, but integrating it
into Gump might take some time ( my understanding is that we can trick
gump by adding a "test" target, but I'm not sure how to do builds with
different VMs )
