Functional Testing For Java

Question

I want to write some functional tests for a java servlet and I want to make sure it works with all the filters and other random java web stuff that might interfere with the servlet. Is there a nice way to do this in java?

I noticed the play framework has a really nice way of doing functional tests.

import play.test.*;
import play.mvc.*;
import play.mvc.Http.*;
import org.junit.*;

public class ApplicationTest extends FunctionalTest {

    @Test
    public void testTheHomePage() {
        Response response = GET("/");
        assertStatus(200, response);
    }

}

Something like that would be great but I guess I'm getting my hopes up. :)

Selenium is one option. It has the ability to export the tests to JUnit 3 or 4.
