Yes. FWIW, there are also others, e.g. JWebUnit.

OK. Unfortunately I don't know nearly enough about
these packages--
I work on web app _tooling_, and we unfortunately
at present don't do
enough automated testing of that, let alone the webapps
generated by
our tooling--but I can seek more informed comments
from, e.g.,
Agile@IBM and some TDD sites.
