init() method not invoked

[Raffaella Coccioli <r....@libero.it>]

When I invoke a servlet method from a test method I expect that the simulated servlet container automatically invokes the init(ServerConfig config) method.
Why doesn't it happen?
If this is normal,  how can I do to enforce the init(config) invocation?

P.S I'm using Tomcat 4.0.1

Thanks in advance

Unfortunately this is just not how it works :) You have to call the
init(config) method manually in your setUp (or wherever suits your needs).
The problem with automating this test is that there is no way for the Cactus
test class to know which object needs to be init()'ed.

BTW, the servlet container is not "simulated"--it's the real container.
