Cactus + Ant + WebSphere

["Mitchell, Glen (Corporate Channel Development)" <Gl...@rbs.co.uk>]

Hello,

I am new to using the WebSphere app server and have been trying to get
Cactus tests to run against the app server using Ant tasks.

Is it possible to run cactus tests on Websphere using ANT. I know it is
possible to do this within the Websphere development environment but is it
possible to do this using an ANT script outside of WSAD, where I deploy the
EAR file to a server, start the server and then run the tests, using the
WebSphere and tasks .i.e wsdeployejb, wsStartServer, wsStopServer

Within the <cactus> ANT task there is no support for the WebSphere container
but I used the generic container to try and get the WebSphere container
running. Unfortunately the container failed to start and everything timed
out after 180000ms. 

Thus is it possible to do what what I am attempting.

I have attached my build.xml file (its a bit of a hack of the cactus servlet
sample) to this email. The target "test" gives hopefully an idea of what I
have outlined above 

Thanks
Glen Mitchell

    Build file for the Cactus Servlet Sample subproject. It shows how to use
    Cactus for unit testing the Servlet API (Servlets, Filters and Taglibs).

    The following Ant tasks need to be available in your ant installation
(i.e.
    the Ant task themselves and their dependent jars need to be put in
    ANT_HOME/lib):

        junit                  [REQUIRED] JUnit Ant task

    Check the build.properties file to find out what properties need to be
set
    in order to successfully run this script.

    This script should be started with the following command line:

        ant <target>

    Run "ant -projecthelp" to get a list of available targets.

RE: Cactus + Ant + WebSphere

[Vincent Massol <vm...@pivolis.com>]

Hi Glen,

There is no limitation in Cactus as to what application server you use
(provided it supports the Servlet spec). Now the cactus Ant task that we
provide does not include a websphere container (simply because we're not
using websphere and nobody has contributed code for it).

The approach you've taken is the correct one (i.e. using the generic
container). If your start and stop targets are working then it should
work fine.

If you could provide the output you get maybe we could help.

Thanks
-Vincent
