Error instantiating class with 1.5b1

[Aaron Humphrey <Hu...@Kakari.com>]

I've been having problems with Cactus and StrutsTestCase, so I thought I'd download the new version, beta though it is.

Now, unfortunately, it can't even instantiate my classes.  What I get when I try to run my CactusStrutsTestCase tests is:

ERROR [AbstractWebTestCaller] Error instantiating class [my.test.class.name([myTestName], [null])]
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

in my Jboss/Tomcat log, and

javax.servlet.ServletException: Error instantiating class [my.test.class.name([myTestName], [null])]
  at org.apache.cactus.server.AbstractWebTestCaller.getTestClassInstance(AbstractWebTestCaller.java:459)

(I'd provide more info if either my command window or my jUnit window provided cut & paste...)

These tests worked under Cactus 1.4.1.  I updated all the appropriate .jar files with the ones from the 1.5b1 distribution.

I was hoping that the new version might fix the problem I was having with 1.4.1, where running my CactusStrutsTestCase would somehow screw up my JSP's <html:form action="..."> mapping.

Just to avoid confusion here, Cactus 1.5-beta1 is not 100% binary 
compatible with Cactus 1.4.1, but it should be possible to use 
StrutsTestCase 2.0 without problems (and without recompilation of 
StrutsTestCase itself). At least it worked in all my tests :-P

Don't know much about cactus jet, but according to the 1.5-beta1
announcment from Vincent on this mailing list you have to recompile
all classes. Search for "AbstractWeb" in his mail for details.

I suspect there must be a root cause printed further down in the stack 
trace... without more details it is really hard to help.

You should be able to copy from the command line BTW, except you're in a 
rather exotic environment ;-)

That sounds more like a problem with StrutsTestCase.
