How to make automatic funtional testing for a wokflow Web Ap

[jinjiankang]

For a Web Application except for wokflow, it's easy to automate using
DbUnit + HttpUnit(or HtmlUnit). Because a submit action is tested after setting a little pre-conditions.

But for a wokflow Web Application, it's exhausted to set pre-conditions from state_n to state_n+1.

Please give some hints.

Thanks.

Can you elaborate... I miss the difference with normal webapps

How/when do you set preconditions, and why do you think this is not possible with workflow (framework) based applications?
