I think we need something... without some mock framework, testing
HttpServlets is difficult.

Testing through Java container API's is hard. Back in the day* we
used things like Cactus, and StrutsMockTestCase, and HttpUnit,
CanooWebTest and such. IMO, though, simple mocks are all that's
needed. In RubyLand, we mock Solr itself for unit tests, but have a
suite of functional tests that work against a live server too.
It is unclear if the jmock license is compatible:

I think so. Looks like Struts uses it. I'd follow their lead and
see how they note it.
