The simplest answer is to have part of the test script deploy the
servlet on a test server and then use Java's Http classes to request
pages, post form data, etc. However, to do it *right* I'd suggest
having an augmented version of the Http classes that will preserve the
exact strings passed back and forth, for testing (comparing the header
strings, etc) and analysis in the case of failed tests.
