Installation Problems
Hi,
I am having a lot of problems installing cactus. I am using Tomcat and I don't want to use Ant, just run my tests manually from JUnit. I am listing my questions, please answer each one of them. Thanks in advance
1.) In Tomcat I don't find any WEB-INF/lib directory to put the commons-cactus.jar file. Should I create a lib folder in WEB-INF and then put this jar file?
2.) Is the Web.xml file need to appeneded with what I find in the documentation, or do I need to replace it. Also are u talking about xml file in \tomcat\webapps\examples\WEB-INF\web.xml. I want to test only servlet programs, do I need to bother about filters and JSP part in xml file or can I not put that in xml file
3.) The documentation says "if the webapp is called mywebapp then URL in cactus.properties should be
http://localhost:8080/mywebapp/ServletRedirector" What do u mean by webapp actually. I want to test my servlet, is it the webapp or do we need to create any folder called webapp? If so where do we need to put that
4.) Do I need to write explicit setUp() and tearDown() methods in the testclass.
Please reply as soon as possible
cheers
chad

Chad,
Please have a look as the provided sample application (in sample/
directory where you unzipped the Cactus distribution). You'll see the
kind of tests you can perform with Cactus.
WRT database access and any other API, Cactus is completely transparent,
meaning there is no interception of any sort (your database will get
called). The only interception Cactus does (and which is a transparent
interception - if you exclude possible bugs :-)) is with the Servlet and
Filter APIs.
In other words, with a Cactus test you decide of your entry point in
your application to test and it goes all the way at the back (till the
database or even calling other remote resources such as some CICS
transactions on a mainframe or other partners, etc).
If you wish not to go all the way, you can combine a mockobjects
strategy with Cactus.
Hope it helps,
-Vincent

Hi,
Is Cactus only for testing the cookie and session objects? Can't we test some code for example some
database code in the servlet? Is it possible with the present cactus structure to invoke database and get result? Do we need to make any changes ?
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks very much for your help. Indeed I was missing the webapp part completely. I have another question. Is Cactus only for testing the cookie and session objects? Can't we test some code for example some database code in the servlet? Is it possible with the present cactus structure to invoke database and get result? Do we need t o make any changes ?
Thanks
chad

It seems you're missing a complete part of the Servlet spec, which is
the notion of WebApp. It is the way to package an application and is the
common and standard way of deploying an application. I would suggest you
do some reading (just download the servlet spec for example or find a
tutorial on javaworld) and then if you still have some additional
questions, come back here, and we will answer then with pleasure.

I mean the webapp context (which is usually the name of the webapp war
file).

setUp() and teardown() work in the same way as for JUnit except that
they are executed on the server side.

Chad,
It seems you're missing a complete part of the Servlet spec, which is
the notion of WebApp. It is the way to package an application and is the
