Cactus for webservice testing?

[Darren Hartford <dh...@ghsinc.com>]

Hey all,
Searching through the mail archives I've seen no mention of 
this, so posting the question:

Since webservices generally can not be tested until after the 
application has been deployed, would testing of those 
webservices fall under 'integration' testing and the Cactus framework?

Looking for some input/best practice for automated-testing of 
webservices, Thanks!

I think you should use a functional testing tool for testing web services.
Now if you want to perform integratiob unit test of servlets, JSPs, taglibs,
etc then Cactus is for you.
