How Do You Test Classes That Must Be Run in a J2EE Container?

To test classes that must be run in a J2EE container (e.g. servlets, EJBs), you should refactor J2EE components to delegate functionality to other objects that don't have to be run in a J2EE container will improve the design and testability of the software.

Cactus is an open source JUnit extension that can be used to test J2EE components in their natural environment.
