what are the different possibilities of calling a servlet class

[radha devi <ka...@yahoo.com>]

Hi

To test a servlet, do I always need to create an instance of the servlet or is there any other way to call the servlet. 
 
Is there way to call the servlet class through URL?
 
Thanks!
Radha

No! Cactus is about *unit testing* not about functional testing. We're not
doing black box testing but white box testing. 

Think about how you unit test any POJO. You instantiate the class and then
call the method do test. Same for Cactus.

If you wish to write functional tests, do not use Cactus. You'll find better
tools elsewhere.
