JBoss and Cactus

[stevecoh1]

Dumb newbie question, but it's not intuitively obvious to me.

Up to now in JBoss I've only deployed by dropping EAR files into the server's default directory.

But now I want to use Cactus to test code.

Cactus documentation suggests "dropping the WAR file into the container." I'm not clear, however, into what directory I would drop a naked war file, outside of an EAR archive. How would I do this operation?

Hey,
In my deploy\my.war\Web-inf\lib include
cactus.jar,
aspectjrt.jar,
commons-httpclient.jar,
commons-logging.jar,
httpunit.jar,
junit.jar,
include the same files in the manifest. I had to use jakarta-cactus-src-1.4.1,
aspectj106,
httpclient20a,
logging102
httpunit152
junit_381

I'm using jdk_1_3_1, jboss306_tomcat4118. I also had to get jce1_2_2 (crypto extensions) and put it in %JAVA_HOME%\re\lib\ext, and recompile cactus source

and the following entries into web.xml

<servlet-name>ServletRedirector</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.cactus.server.ServletTestRedirector</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>param1</param-name>
<param-value>value1 used for testing</param-value>
</init-param>


<servlet-name>ServletTestRunner</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.cactus.server.runner.ServletTestRunner</servlet-class>


Other than that ;-> it was easy

If you want the jars I used let me now and I'll attach them.

Hope it helps,
Eric
