Pb in starting tomcat - maven-cactus-plugin

[Kalyani Jitesh <j-...@kj.cnt.jp.nec.com>]

Hi there,

I am trying to execute the examples in Junit in Action book. To be specific I am trying to execute cactus test with maven in junitbook\servlets.

I executed the cactus test with the maven. I am using following versions of sw.
maven 1.0.2
maven-cactus-plugin-1.7
tomcat4.1.29

I guess Tomcat is not started. Can anybody help me to execute the same?

The am facing the following error,
...
 [cactus] [DEBUG] Checking if server is up ...
 [cactus] [DEBUG] Failed to connect to [http://localhost:8079/junitbook-servlets-cactus/ServletRedirector?Cactus_Service=RUN_TEST] (Connection refused: connect)
