FYI:
I managed to get Cactus 1.7.1 run with the newest Commons Httpclient Release
(3.0 RC3).
Here's a step by step HOW TO:
1.) Just check aut the source and run ant.
After the build all required libraries have been downloaded.
2.) Make a compy of build.properties.default named build.properties.
3.) Change the value of the property ${commons.httpclient.jar} to the location
of your httpclient 3.0 jar.
4.) Run ant again. (The build will probably fail during testing, but this
didn't matter to me).
5.) In the directories framework\dist-13\lib ( for J2EE1.3) /
framework\dist-14\lib (for J2EE1.4) and
integration\ant\target-13 (for J2EE1.3) / integration\ant\target-14 (for
J2EE1.4) you will find 1 jar each.
These (cactus-1.7.1.jar and cactus-ant-1.7.1.jar ) is everything you need.
7.) To make them run make sure the newest required libraries are placed in the
class path.
I also had to do minimal changes in my ant build file.
Have fun
