[http://sourceforge.net/projects/jsptest JspTest], by [http://radio.javaranch.com/lasse/search.action?query=jsptest Lasse Koskela], is a jUnit extension for testing JSP pages outside the container.

This page is a work in progress, as I get it up and running. TableOfContents

Downloading

To checkout from sourceforge, use

 svn co https://jsptest.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/jsptest/trunk jsptest

rather than the checkout command displayed on the [http://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=164388 sourceforge subversion page]. I tend to forget to add the "/trunk" part and get the whole repository.

Building

What should work

I ran the usual maven command

 mvn clean install

but got a couple of errors:

What does work

OK, there's something wrong with the POMs, at the moment. Build with this script:

# (execute this from the checked out root directory) 
eval 'cd jsptest-generic/jsptest-common;eval "mvn install";cd ../..'
eval 'cd jsptest-generic/jsptest-compiler-api;eval "mvn install";cd ../..'
eval 'cd jsptest-generic/jsptest-framework;eval "mvn install";cd ../..'
eval 'cd jsptest-generic;eval "mvn install";cd ..'
eval 'cd jsptest-jsp12;eval "mvn install";cd ..'
eval 'cd jsptest-jsp20;eval "mvn install";cd ..'
eval 'cd jsptest-jsp21;eval "mvn install";cd ..'
eval 'mvn install'
