The only thing the JUnit TestRunner does is to run all TestCase in a
suite. Thus it runs the ServletTestCase/JspTestCase/FilterTestCase who
all run beginXXX, testXXX and endXXX. You should read the "how it works"
tutorial if you're interested in how it works. If you're just interested
in running tests, you should read the "TestCase Howto" tutorial.

Can you point to me to which documentation in particular you are
referring to so that we can improve it ?

why do you think that ?

Ok I have read the how works document and I interpreted the sections where it said
the Junit TestRunner calls a TestCase.runTest() method. This method looks for a beginxxx(WebRequest) method and executes it if one is found.
This is executed on the client side (i.e. not in a server engine). The WebRequest parameter passed to the beginXXX() method is used to set the HTTP headers, the HTTP parameters, ... that will be sent in step 2 to the Redirector proxy.
2.The YYYTestCase.runTest() method then opens an HTTP connection to the Redirector proxy. All the parameters set up in the beginXXX() method are sent in the HTTP request (HTTP headers, HTTP parameters, ...)
q)myComment(I would take this to be like a setUp in that you are doing a fixture) please correct me if I'm wrong
8.If no exception occurred, the YYYTestCase.runTest() method looks for an endXXX(org.apache.cactus.WebResponse) or endXXX(com.meterware.httpunit.WebResponse) method and executes it if found. At this stage, you have the opportunity to check returned HTTP headers, Cookies and the servlet output stream in the endXXX() method, again using JUnit asserts and helper utility classes provided by Cactus.

request
public HttpServletRequestWrapper request
Valid HttpServletRequest object that you can access
from the testXXX(), setUp and tearDown() methods. If
you try to access it from either the beginXXX() or
endXXX() methods it will have the null value.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean but I'll say yes ...

Answer is yes. You should have a look at the Cactus sample in sample/ of
the cactus distribution. You'll see how to write test cases.

q)
I also need to know after the begin method is called, can you use httpservletRequest object in the textxxx methods to get the values you set up in the begin methods which should have being sent to redirector proxy on the server
