cactus RunServerTestsTask timeout parameter

           Summary: cactus RunServerTestsTask timeout parameter

          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other

Hello,

a small suggestion for enhancement of the ant task runservertests.

We run cactus tests as part of a nightly build process.
If deployment done by the startTarget of runservertests fails,
the build process hangs and must be killed.

It would be nice if the ant task runservertests had an additional
parameter that limits the time that StartServerHelper attempts to
start the server. If the server URL is not callable within the timeout,
a build exception should be raised. The same should be done when the
startTarget (invoked in a separate thread) throws a BuildException.

The parameter might be called startTimeout, integer, unit seconds.
The default could be -1 to wait "forever".

regards,
mpi.
