RE: Use Cactus to test Velocity code?

Hi, Vincent:

Is it possible to test Velocity code thru Cactus?

Actually we are looking for a tool to do integration test.

Thanks,

Nick

Hi Nick,

Cactus will let you test any code that uses the following APIs:
- Servlets,
- JSPs,
- Filters,
- EJBs

What it means is that Cactus is able to provide container objects related to
hose APIs (HttpServletRequest, etc). For the EJBs, it's a bit different.
Cactus does not really support unit testing EJBs. However, as EJBs are
usually called from a Servlet/JSP/Filter context, Cactus can help you in
accessing EJB local interfaces for example.

Now for Velocity, Cactus won't provide any Velocity object to you. However,
if you're using Velocity with a Servlet engine, Cactus can certainly help.
