Running automated Web browser tests under Hudson

I'm running Hudson for my automated builds and love it.

I'd now like to create automated Web browser tests using either WaTiN (preferred) or Selenium.

As my Hudson runs as a Windows service (under Tomcat), how can I configure this to run? Will I be forced to log in as a user on the Hudson box so my automated browser tests will find a browser? Or is there some other sorcery with an interactive session that I can conjure up?

If possible I'd like the Hudson box itself to run the tests.

A: 

Have you checked here? This shows the Selenium Grid plug-in to Hudson.

Thanks, that's interesting; but it was WaTiN I was hoping to automate if possible. (I know WaTiN and like it, word on the grapevine is that Selenium is a little more tricky, but if I need to learn Selenium to do this then so be it.)

Your answer makes no sense without clicking on the link. Can you expand?

@Michael, that's because the link has an answer. Should I copy-paste it?

No but how about saying what's in the link. Is it a picture of Jon Skeet? What is it?

It is a dangerous virus, of course. What else could it be?

I can't imagine why people continue downvoting this answer, since it provides the same link as the accepted answer.

+2  A: 

After some research I've found that WaTin won't work so well as I'd need to configure Hudson to run in an interactive Java session.

Selenium Grid, however, is perfect - there's a Hudson plug-in that can control it, too.

So that's what we'll use.
