BasicAuthentication sample fails in WL 8.1

["Mahfouz, Ayman" <ay...@citigroup.com>]

Here is the status on this:  (Please help)
* The issue does not seem to be pertinent to struts. I have a web app
deployed under WL 8.1 that has only one simple servlet in it: When I run
the cactus authentication example from eclipse it works and when I run
it from the web browser using ServletTestRunner it fails with the trace
given at bottom of email. Notice the
weblogic.security.acl.internal.AuthenticatedSubject.doAs in trace.

* I made a copy of the web app and deployed it in WL under different
context path and for this web app the test case does not even pass in
the IDE. Bizarre.

* I tried to turn on logging by placing a
cactus.logging.config=E:/log4j.properties in the cactus properties but I
do not get any extra logging. 

---------------------------------------------------------------
----- Here is the log4j.properties file contents:
---------------------------------------------------------------

# A1 is set to be a ConsoleAppender.
log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout 
log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=%r [%t] %-5p %C.%M() - %m%n

# Set root logger level to DEBUG and its only appender to A1.
log4j.rootLogger=ALL, A1
log4j.category.org.apache.cactus = ALL, A1
log4j.category.servletunit = ALL, A1

---------------------------------------------------------------
----- and here is all the logging I get
