I recently blogged about unit testing Spring-MVC applications, which is made a lot easier by the mock classes that come with the framework. Last time I was working with JSF, there wasn't really any equivalent for JSF, which was a shame. However, one reader generously pointed out that now such as testing framework does exist, at least in a beta form. It's called JSFUnit. I haven't played with it myself yet, but it certainly looks neat. If you are working on a JSF application, it may well be worth a look.
