Hi George, Paulex, Thanks for your answers. As a preliminary result - your convinced me and I'm going to be volunteer to evaluate jetty integration to classlib test suite.
Do anybody work on integrating jetty http server to move net tests out of exclude list? Thanks, Stepan. On 5/23/06, George Harley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Hi Stepan, In addition to be being start-able, stop-able and configurable from Ant and XML config files, Jetty can also be embedded into the Java code of a test case or test suite. Configuration, starting and stopping are all possible. Eclipse users should not be disadvantaged. > > 2) Time to run test suite > May be it is hard to estimate but anyway - will the test suite run > slow down > if we'll use jetty instead of mock objects? How much? Depends on configuration. Configure and start the server in the setup() of a JUnit TesCase (and stopping the server in the teardown()) would obviously be slower than doing the equivalent in a JUnit TestSetup descendent. Start up is a lot less than half a second on my machine.

Is there some test file footprint benchmark that is at risk here ? If there is a better, faster, more lightweight server that would suit our purposes then let's hear about it so that we can investigate whether or not it may be used with our network tests. > >> it can be started and stopped very simply from >> within Ant (so that it only runs for the duration of a specified batch >> of unit tests) and may also be completely controlled from Java test code >> so that we can configure its behaviour for any test case from within >> that test case. > > > Good. > > It's architecture means that we do not have to run it as >> a complete web server but can stub out any aspect of its runtime >> behaviour we wish in order to suit the purposes of the test(s). > > > What about 'chunked response'?
