How about JFunk - "Junit Functionaltesting Kit" haha . j/k. JFunc sounds cool. There would also have to be modifications to the cactus framework, as cactus uses reflection and specifically looks for no arguement method calls. Vincent has shown me some of the code, so I think I can probably handle the cactus part of it.
