While not *actually* launching a browser, the Cactus testing framework
(w/ HTTPUnit) allows you to test your JSPs as if they were rendered on a
browser.  It actually goes a few steps beyond just calling a JSP,
because in the beginXXX method you can setup the request (adding
cookies, headers, etc), then in the testXXX method, you can forward to
your JSP, then in endXXX you can get the results of the rendered JSP as
a WebResponse.

I've used a few variations of these methods to write the cactus tests
for the core taglibs (although not finished yet).

Check out the source distribution to see examples of how I've setup
testing for the taglibs.
