I (almost violently) oppose any code in a a WOComponent not directly
and exclusively tied to making the UI function. I try to restrict
them to binding variables, cover methods, and overrides for inherited
methods. Everything else belongs someplace else, either in the EO or
in a layer between the EO and UI. Doing this, the UI classes become
very simple. So simple, in fact, that they could not possibly
break. Therefore there is no need to write tests. Any potential
bugs are best caught in functionality testing.

Slightly different topic, but how do you write tests at the
component level? My WOComponent classes need a WOContext in the
constructor. And there needs to be a running applicaiton, or else
you run into NullPointerExceptions.
I can fake a WOContext by manually creating a WORequest with the
HTTP/1.1 and URL parameters, but am running into problems creating
a dummy application. Does anyone have a quick guideline for doing
this?

I'm studying how to add unit tests to an WebObjects
application. I would like to use xCode (i hate eclipse).
I highly recommend you take another look at Eclipse (or IntelliJ
if you can afford it). Xcode might be a good IDE for C based
projects, but for Java projects you can dramatically increase your
productivity by using a specialized IDE.
Two questions:
- Does WOUnitTest (http://wounittest.sourceforge.net/) still
works?
Sure.
I see it's not updated since 3/2004...
What new features would you like to see?
Christian
