: I think we need something... without some mock framework, testing : HttpServlets is difficult. This accounts for a serious lack of tests in : that area. I have avoided writing some test (like this one) because : there is too much overhead.
: got it. I was trying to follow the "fix bugs with a test" guideline was : quick to commit since this is in the testing side, but i see your point. i don't disagree with your choice, i was just pointing out for the purposes of discussion that this is an area where if i were in your shoes i would have fixed the bug without a test, and then started a seperate issue/discussion about hte need for better servlet tests and using a mock tool to do so ... but then i'm a slow moving worry wart, and you're a more get up and go type person :) -Hoss
