I recently looked at jwebunit. It wraps httpunit/rhino/junit together and
adds a lot of syntactic sugar. It looked really good except I found it
limited and needed to drop down to using rhino and httpunit.

Someone else at my site suggested htmlunit. It was more current and
supports more than jwebunit (httpunit/rhino) so we are evaluating it right
now.

I did a google for htmlunit and found quite a few articles. From that I
was able to gleen enough information to use it. Additionally, the methods
are different from httpunit but the general framework is the same.

You might want to check on www.theserverside.com and see if you can find
or start discussions about it there. Additionally, the Yahoo junit group
occasionally has people discussing htmlunit.

If you want to post questions I'd guess there are people here who might be
able to answer them.
