Let me turn the question back to you.  If you are building a web 
application and you have code that cannot be executed by a request from 
a web browser then why is that code there?

I'm not suggesting that you should do all your testing from the outside 
of the servlet container with a tool like HtmlUnit, I'm just questioning 
your assumptions.  Why would you assume that your typical webapp would 
have code that *cannot* be tested from the outside?

I say "like HtmlUnit" because this is really a question about testing a 
webapp from the outside of the servlet container by simulating a 
browser.  There are lots of tools that can perform this kind of testing.
