Servlets and JSPs are often considered difficult to
test and on the other hand, shouldn't contain much stuff critical enough to be thoroughly unit tested.
Fortunately, developers seem to be easier to "convert" into using XP. A good start would be to place some XP articles around the
coffee room and maybe try to arrange a kind of "brown bag session" by gathering (with lunch, the brown bags) the developers into a negotiation room and host an info brief about agile processes.
You could also consider starting without the test-first part as it's often the most intimidating of the XP practices... Another seemingly good approach for gaining root-level acceptance was mentioned by Frank Carver in
another thread.
Damn. I hate it when someone posts while I type...
