Check out www.junit.org. There is a link to a J2EE test add-on for JUnit
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/j2eeunit/) , which I have to be honest, I
haven't used yet. Normally, what I have done is to create test versions of
the response and request objects, and treat the servlet like any other class
passing my own objects in as parameters. A web server should not be needed
to do this, although I know the J2EE add-on mentioned above says it needs a
web server...?
Hope this helps. There is a chapter in the Wrox Press Java Server
Programming J2EE Edition book (Chp 27) specifically on JUnit testing with
J2EE technologies, and downloads available at
http://www.wrox.com/Books/Book_down.asp?sub_section=1&isbn=1861004656&subjec
t=Java&subject_id=13 although I expect they'd prefer you buy the book too.

Subject: XP testing of servlets
> my group at work has recently begun using the XP programming methodology

will

suggestions
