How to test JSP TagExtraInfo ?

Question

I consistently have troubles getting my TagExtraInfo implementations to work properly. I have one implementation that works, and one that doesn't and I unable to see the difference between the two. And all the IDE's seem to have have "bugs/features" regarding this, which makes it hard to see where the problem actually is.

The relationship between a TagExtraInfo and a jsp tag should be reasonably well-defined, and I assuming I should be able to get some kind of compliance-testing software. Anyone know anything like this ?

Answer 1

You can use Jetty. That is a simple web container that can be started from your unit test. You can prepare a simple web.xml, test.jsp and monitor exceptions in order to see if everything works fine. There is an interesting article.
