Hi,
I do not know why... but it seems that the problem is the default
server.xml file that uses this:

  <GlobalNamingResources>
    <Resource name="UserDatabase" auth="Container"
        type="org.apache.catalina.UserDatabase"/>
    <ResourceParams name="UserDatabase">
      <parameter>
        <name>factory</name>

<value>org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabaseFactory</value>
      </parameter>
      <parameter>
        <name>pathname</name>
        <value>conf/tomcat-users.xml</value>
      </parameter>
    </ResourceParams>
  </GlobalNamingResources>

... instead of this:

  <GlobalNamingResources>
    <Resource name="UserDatabase" auth="Container"
              type="org.apache.catalina.UserDatabase"
       description="User database that can be updated and saved"
           factory="org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabaseFactory"
          pathname="conf/tomcat-users.xml" />
  </GlobalNamingResources>

So I used the serverxml attribute for <tomcat5x> element to
specify the correct server.xml file:

  <tomcat5x if="cactus.home.tomcat5x"
           dir="${cactus.home.tomcat5x}" 
          port="${cactus.port}"
        output="${build.dest.test.reports}/tomcat5x.out"
     serverxml="${tools}/cactus/conf/server.xml"   
         todir="${build.dest.test.reports}/tomcat5x"/>

Now it works.

Best regards,
Paolo Castagna.
