Hi All:

I am new to the concept of extreme programming . I was wondering if there is a way out to develope a webpage(that stores some information in the database and when asked by the user returns the information) following the XP methedology and using JSP, I am not sure if I will be able to come up with test units using JUnits in this(using JSP) case.

Please lemme know more about this.(if possible with some examples please, as they will help me understand it better)

Thanks

Regards
RB

I totally agree with Jeanne - make your JSPs as "dumb" as possible, so that you don't feel much need to test them.

You might still want to write some tests for the JSPs, though. For this, take a look at the collection of tools at http://www.junit.org/news/extension/web/.

The code to access the database should not be in the JSP. It should be in a java class. This java class can be tested with JUnit. Take a look at mockobjects.com to see how to simulate the database.
