servlet test harness
Being new to jsp and servlets I am looking for a servlet test harness
similar to junit. The ideal tool would be something that I can
integrate into by makefile-based system build process that allows me to
run test suites as batches. Is there such a tool or junit customization
out there? Thanks, BenG.

There are some pages dedicated to servlet testing on the WikiWikiWeb,
see <http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ServletTesting> for a starter.
I haven't tried anything mentioned there but some things look very
promising.

Alex,
One option you might want to consider is a unit test harness that we use to test
Tomcat 4.0. It's in the "tester" directory of the source distribution.
Basically, the unit test client is implemented as a custom Ant task, so it's
easy to create "test scripts" using Ant's normal facilities. The "server" end
of the tests is configured as a webapp that would contain the servlets under
test.
It includes the following features so far:
* Can use either HttpURLConnection or low-level socket connections
* Can configure the properties of the submitted request via
attributes: server host, port number, request headers,
request data, request method, request URI
* Can configure the properties of the returned response that
should be checked for test success: response status, response
message text, response headers that must be present, response
data (first line only is compared currently).
The set of tests already present are somewhat specific to Tomcat, but can be
used to give you a sense of how your own tests could be set up. Suggested
improvements to this framework are also welcome, and can be submitted to the
TOMCAT-DEV mailing list.

Alex, I didn't find anything. I searched a lot. One response from an
interested party like yourself. I looked briefly at Jakarta Watchdog
(where's the doc?) thinking this was what Craig just responded to you
about. I miss junit...so nice and simple! I have found servlets are in
great need of debugging and testing tools, especially when it goes
beyound the simple into session, multi-user, and concurrency issues. I
cannot begin to imagine starting work on an EJB project w/o getting
these tools in place first. Good luck, I'm using JRun these days. If
you do get lucky let me know. Thanks, BenG.

Ben,
I came across this message that you posted on the
general@jakarta.apache.org mailing list a couple of months ago. Did you
ever get any response from it? Specifically any information on JUnit
customization or how one could test servlets with JUnit. Is there
anything you know of designed for testing servlets similar to how JUnit
is used for testing regular classes?
Thanks
Alex.
