Sebastian--
Well, one other thing to try would be to up the NetUI Log4J priorities to "debug". To do this, change the file:
$BEEHIVE_HOME/netui/test/webapps/drt/coreWeb/WEB-INF/src/log4j.xml
to reset the <priority> levels from "error" do "debug" -- he output will show-up in the Tomcat console. Then, rebuild the coreWeb application in the same directory as Shell 2 below by running:
ant build ant undeploy ant deploy
This will recompile the coreWeb webapp including the Controls, JPFs, and XSDs and then reload the webapp. Then, try hitting the same URL as before.
Also, could you send me the output from your Tomcat console window, the Tomcat log from $BEEHIVE_HOME/installed/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25/logs/..., and the output from the test window? You can zip them up and send them to me directly (no reason the spam the list, but if anyone else wants them, let me know).
Thanks very much for helping and for being patient!

Ok I've tried to do the test manually by launching tomcat in a seperate shell and then running the tests in another. There doesn't seem to be a difference. I can hit http://localhost:8080/coreWeb/ but when I follow any of the links to run a test I get your typical error page. I gather this is the web equivalent of the errors I am seeing through junit testing.
re-running bootstrap didn't seem to change anything.
I am using Windows XP and I appear to have forgotten the service pack again. SuSE 9 is having trouble spawning tomcat from ant so I gave up there. I'll give it another go in the morning.
In the mean time thanks for your help, Sebastian

Okay, we're making progress. :)
One possibility is that the server is running but the coreWeb/ webapp is deployed in a weird stage (have seen this locally a couple of times) and isn't accessible. The exception below is in the "client" piece of our test infrastructure -- called the Test Recorder -- which is making HTTP requests against a running Tomcat instance.
When running correctly, it should be accessible with a browser at the URL "http://localhost:8080/coreWeb";.
I realize that there isn't documentation on the test infrastructure yet -- that's coming. In the meantime, open two shells with a Beehive environment in the Beehive root directory and try this:
Shell 1 -- start Tomcat: cd netui/test/webapps/drt ant start
Shell 2 -- run the NetUI tests: cd netui/test/webapps/drt ant undeploy ant deploy ant drt.running
The first set of commands will start Tomcat. The second set of commands will undeploy and then deploy the "coreWeb" webapp. The "deploy" and "undeploy" targets use the corresponding Tomcat Ant tasks. The "drt.running" command will run the Test Recorder client against the running Tomcat instance. Also, once the webapp is deployed, you should be able to hit the URL above and walk the tests by hand.
A draconian step to take would be to delete $BEEHIVE_HOME/installed/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25/ and re-run "ant bootstrap" to just reset the state of Tomcat.
Finally, what's your OS? Might help in diagnosing some of this locally...
Documentation on the test infrastructure, how to run the tests, and how to fix these kinds of issues will come over the next couple of days.
Hope this helps...
Eddie
