cactus newbie / EJB

Hi,

just had a quick browse around cactus docs and AFAICT, to test ejbs 
within a container, you have to create and deploy a cactus webapp that 
executes the ejb code.  Is this correct?  Are there alternative ways of 
executing tests?  E.g. from a remote client to some deployed test cases?

I followed some cactus-user threads that mentioned an EJB Redirector 
http://www.mail-archive.com/cactus-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg03049.html 
back in February.  Has any progress been made with this?  How yould you 
execute tests using the redirector?

cheers
Nathan

hehe... RTFM! :-)

It's on the mailing list I believe. However, I'd rather you look at the
Cactus source code. It has redirectors for Servlet, Filter and Jsp.

Search for the ServletTestRedirector class.

Yep! I didn't know about junitejb but I imagine that would be exactly
the same (from your description and from the project's description on
SF).
