First, some background:

I will have to work on code for a JSP that will demand a lot of code fixing and testing. This JSP will receive a structure of given objects, and render it according to a couple of rules.

What I would like to do, is to write a ‘Test Server’ that would read some mock data out of a fixtures file, and mock those objects into a factory that would be used by the JSP in question.

The target App Server is WebSphere and I would like to code, change, code in order to test appropriate HTML rendering. I have done something similar on the past, but the JSP part was just calling a method on a rendering object, so I created an Ad Hoc HTTP server that would read the fixture files, parse it and render HTML.

All I had to do was run it inside RAD, change the HTML code and hit F5.

So question pretty much goes down to: Is there any stand alone library or lightweight server (I thought of Jetty) that would take a JSP, and given the correct contexts (Request, Response, Session, etc.) render the proper HTML?

  1. I’ve never used JSPs, but I have played around with OOWeb. It’s definitely lightweight, and follows the request/response model, but you’ll be hard pressed to connect it with your JSPs without a lot of glue.

    A couple lightweight containers are listed here. It looks like Tiny Java Web Server in particular is actively being developed. Unfortunately there’s not much documentation available for it.
