Basically it exposes as an Ant script a whole bunch of http My whole reason for getting involved with Latka was that we have an in-house developed tool, called WebTest, that does more than Latka, and I wanted to bring those features to Latka/Jakarta. Now when I got involved in Latka, the doco was thin on the ground, the nightly builds didn't work, the test cases were suspect (still are), and there was not much movement.

See http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/latka/users-guide.html . Note the maven generated docs :) There are three ways to run Latka: From a command prompt, from the Latka webapp and via JUnit. Latka's tests are driven externally via an xml docment, rather than from inside ant. -- dIon Gillard, Multitask Consulting Work: http://www.multitask.com.au Developers: http://adslgateway.multitask.com.au/developers
