Cactus-1.5 requires commons-httpclient.jar in server side

[Kazuhito SUGURI <su...@lab.ntt.co.jp>]

Hi.

I had updated Cactus from 1.4.1 to 1.5.
But ServletTestCase and FilterTestCase cannot be instantiated,
and then, no TestCase were passed.
The TestCase was invoked from JUnit testrunner (junit.swingui.TestRunner)
in client-side and the error occurs in server-side.

Hi Kazuhito,

Thanks. In Cactus tests we're using the <cactifywar> task which puts
commons-httpclient on the server side CP. Thus we hadn't noticed this
"issue". I've applied your patch.

Thanks
-Vincent
