No it hasn't ... :)
Here is a packaging that I propose for packaging Cactus in an EAR :
Mytest.ear
|_ myejbjar.jar
|_ META-INF
|_ manifest.mf (ref. lib/cactus.jar, lib/log4j.jar, lib/junit.jar)
|_ classes
|_ mywar.war
|_ META-INF
|_ manifest.mf (ref. lib/cactus.jar, lib/log4j.jar, lib/junit.jar)
|_ WEB-INF
|_ web.xml (inc. cactus mapping)
|_ lib
|_ struts.jar
|_ classes
|_ classes + test classes
|_ lib
|_ cactus.jar
|_ log4j.jar
|_ junit.jar
This would be the "ideal" packaging. However, there are a few issues,
depending on the application server you use (as they don't all fully
respect EAR packaging yet). For example, here are the gotchas with WL6.1
:
* It does not accept jar put in a directory for external libraries (i.e.
using Class-Path in the manifest file). So you have to put cactus.jar,
log4j.jar and junit.jar at the top level in the ear and not under a lib
directory.
* I'm not sure it supports using external libraries for war files, in
which case we would have to copy the jar files to mywar.war/WEB-INF/lib.

Posted by "David L. Wasler" <dw...@yahoo.com>.
Hi:
Can't comment on item 1 yet !
Item 2 is correct J2EE components are not visible
outside the EAR container as suggested or their own
WAR container, but working on a solution.
Will look at your WL 6.1 ant script today.
Cheers

1/ That won't work in the future with EJB redirector
2/ That won't work as other WAR won't have access to the cactus and

It is not the problem of current application servers ! This is simply
not in the spec. !

You might be interested in the ant script for WebLogic 6.1 that I have
committed today (in sample/build directory of cactus distribution).

My approach is to house Cactus and JUint in own WAR

Were you have JAR I would replace them with WAR
components.
I'm currently setting up my IDE enviroment to
automaticly build such a component and deploy to
Weblogic 6.0 and 6.1

Hi Vincent:
I agree with on you " some what" on your EAR
component directory structure, can't provided a better
one yet. My directory structure is very close to your,
but maybe my approach will not work, will have try it
out. If we use an IDE like TogetherSoft , I think
JBuilder we should be able to write an XML file that
Ant could use. In short define traget application
server.
We could look at SOAP also.
