Cactus and JSF
Does the Cactus team have any plans to incorporate JSF testing capabilities
into Cactus?
Thanks,

Hi Vince,
AFAIK, we don't have any plans to incorporate JSF testing into Cactus.
But that doesn't means we wouldn't like to, just that we don't have the
resources to do it currently. On the contrary, we would love to support
other Java EE APIs like JSF and Portlets, but we (the current commiters)
lack the expertise or time to do so nowadays.
Anyway, regarding the comments about Shale and MyFaces tests, it would
be great if we could integrate their solutions into Cactus, so the 3
projects could take advantage of a common solution and avoid duplicated
work. Maybe all is needed is someone to approach them and make the
proposal - any volunteer?

I don't know what plans the Cactus team has, but you might want to look at
Shale's test package:
http://people.apache.org/~craigmcc/shale-test-javadocs/
Nightly builds are available:
http://struts.apache.org/shale/index.html#download

This is where I'm still confused-- by the time it gets to the browser, it's
"just" HTML and JavaScript. I don't see why testing the output of a JSP
page that had JSF tags in it is different from testing one that had, say,
Struts tags. It's still <input type="text" ...> in the browser, right?
FWIW there are some examples of testing JSF JSP pages in Shale. Look in
src/systest in the use-cases section. They are, however, HtmlUnit and the
current version of the Cactus Maven plugin wouldn't run them. I did see
HtmlUnit support get added to Cactus recently, so I'm hopeful.
I'd suggest that you ask about testing JSF apps on the MyFaces list. Even
if you're using a different implementation, they are a helpful bunch. :)
And if you have questions about Shale, come join us on the Struts user list.
HTH,

Will Cactus add classes to represent the JSF related session objects like
the FacesContext? If not, how would I place my test data into the Faces
request without mocking FacesContext?
Also, can I use Cactus to test a JSF JSP? If so , do you know of any
examples?

The MyFaces team is using Cactus, so you might take a look at what they're
doing.
Or maybe I don't understand the question-- what do you think needs to be
added to Cactus to enable testing JSF webapps?
