what is the location of data files for testing?
I'm sure this is documented all over the place, but for the life of me,
I couldn't find it after looking for the two hours or so. I'm using
the maven plugin to run my cactus tests. In the setUp() method, I'd
like to load a couple of image files to use in the testing. Where in
the directory structure would I put those files so the are accessible
with getClass().getResource("image.jpg") inside the setUp() method?
Thanks!
Mark

Ok. Then you can put it anywhere in the server side classpath
(WEB-INF/classes, container classpath, etc).

Hi Vincent,
I'm testing an Entity bean that takes a picture and stores it in the
DB. It's a somewhat contrived test, but the whole app is contrived.
It's a technology demonstration that I can use to show the people who
will be rotating in and out of the project over the next few years, and
it will (hopefully) cover the vast majority of situations they'll
encounter. In this case, the bean is pretty lame. However, I can
imagine other test cases where I want a file (maybe a test CSV data
file with all the test entity data, or an XML file that some
intermediary session bean has to process) included in the test WAR so
that cactus can load it up. My understanding is that for Local Entity
beans, there is no client side, so running the setup from outside the
server, a la begin() and end(), either wouldn't work, or would be poor
style.
Of course, I'm still new at this too, so I could be way off. I just
figured there would be a standard place to put such files so they are
available server-side for testing.

There is no standard place, I believe.
Only thing to consider is that the location of the resource can be found
by the classloader of the test class.
See Also: java.lang.Class#getResource(String) javadoc.
How about under WEB-INF/classes?
You may combine test data set in a jar file, test-resources.jar for example,
and put that as WEB-INF/lib/test-resources.jar.

Hi Mark,
The setUp() method is executed in the server side classpath. Are you
sure you do not want to use a begin() method instead? (see
http://jakarta.apache.org/cactus/writing/howto_testcase.html).
