Hey jason. I too have been in places where I wanted to test something but thought I could not.
But it is easy to set up a test server, very easy, they can run practically anywhere, even a cell phone. OpenBd/Jetty will run right from a USB drive. As will most other open source servers/databases. You can mock up query's etc with querySims so you don't even need a datasource to test. There are also full LAMP testing servers that will run off a folder in a thumb drive as well, Like Xampp for instance. Xampp is a complete Linux/Apache/MySql/PHP dev server that also has a Tomcat addon, OpenBd's .war runs great on Xampp/Tomcat for development. You should really just experiment with all this stuff and see what happens. Matthew is correct in saying the best way is to try stuff-- there are a ton of variables here and you will need to have a lot of test cases before you get what you need. You also have to try to "break" your code by posting everything possible the end user could insert, and that is no simple task. Just thought I would mention it because I have been in your same situation and this info helped me a bunch -Kevin Pepperman -- Open BlueDragon Public Mailing List http://www.openbluedragon.org/ http://twitter.com/OpenBlueDragon mailing list - http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en !! save a network - please trim replies before posting !!
