maven plugin: different JVM

[Keith Irwin <ke...@keithirwin.com>]

Simple question:

Are the cactus tests run (via the maven plugin) in a different JVM? 
This is, one jvm to run the tests, another jvm to start the web app?

Just curious because although I can finally get the ServletTestCase
stuff working with an extended version of struts 1.1, I get a
nullpointerexception with struts test case.

And I have a glimmer of a memory of doing this all before and the trick
was to start a new jvm (back when I did this through ant rather than
maven).

Thanks!

Keith

Yes. This is true for all Cactus integrations except for the Browser
integration.

Ah, I remember people posting about this but I don't know what the
problem was. I don't think it had to do with Cactus in the end. Search
the archives for "StrutsTestCase" and "NullPointerException".
