I've used JUnit before, I do want to learn HttpUnit (among so many other things that I need to learn :-) But thanks for providing the details, they're helpful.
Ant in Action has a special section on HttpUnit, before I get into Apache Cactus, which is the serious server-side test tool :)
I've worked on a few eXtreme Programming projects, and recognize the importance of test-first-design. The main reason for using Jasper was not to verify the that the JSPs would compile but was only to reduce the page load time for the customers/visitors and since we used the same version of Tomcat accross all stages of development compatibility wasn't a smaller issue for that team.
HttpUnit is a functional test tool; its no so test first when you have to have the JSP page up on the site...its not like junit tests where your API itself is getting hit.
With an httpunit run straight after deployment, you can hit every single JSP page in turn -on the production machine-. This gets the preload hit out the way, and helps test the live system is working.
