I've used JUnit before, I do want to learn HttpUnit (among so many other th=
ings that I need to learn :-) But thanks for providing the details, they're=
 helpful.=0A=0AI've worked on a few eXtreme Programming projects, and recog=
nize the importance of test-first-design.=0A=0AThe main reason for using Ja=
sper was not to verify the that the JSPs would compile but was only to redu=
ce=0Athe page load time for the customers/visitors and since we used the sa=
me version of Tomcat accross all stages=0Aof development compatibility wasn=
't a smaller issue for that team.=0A=0ABut now, I can see why we developers=
 weren't allowed to upgrade to a newer version of Tomcat, it was mandatory=
