+ The short term goals for Cactus are to continue providing and improving
+ support for J2EE unit testing. More specifically the following areas
+ are being considered and researched:
</p>
+
<ul>
<li>
- Servlets,
+ Add support for Servlet API 2.4/JSP 1.4 (by using Tomcat 5),
</li>
<li>
- Servlet 2.3 Filters,
+ Pre-packaged Cactus with leading containers so that it is ultra-easy
+ to test a user application. Some already implemented ideas:
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ See the <link href="howto_tomcat.html">Tomcat Howto</link> for
+ an example of Tomcat integration. However, it could be made even
+ easier by providing a packaged Tomcat.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Jetty integration is mostly finished and provides an
+ unpredecented ease of use.
+ </li>
+ </ul>
</li>
<li>
- Tag libraries,
+ Provide a full servlet container test suite a la Watchdog using Cactus.,
</li>
<li>
- EJBs
+ Performance unit testing: Add performance extensions to be able to
+ test each single method in performance.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ More tutorial on AspectJ testing. Potentially add a Cactus Aspect
+ extension to allow writing test cases as Aspects (this would allow to
+ remove the need for Cactus redirectors in most cases).
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Improve Cactus usability by providing different Cactus front ends
+ that does all the packaging of the application by simply specifying
+ source location, resource location and web.xml. These front ends would
+ already contains all the logic to create the war and deploy it
+ for a given application server. Possibilies are:
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ Cactus standalone application which uses the JUnit Swing TestRunner
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Cactus Ant tasks
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Generic Cactus plugin for IDEs
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Special Cactus plugin for Eclipse
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Add EJB Redirectors to be able to unit test Session Beans, Entity Beans
+ and MessageDriven Beans
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Ability to write Cactus tests by extending normal JUnit TestCase instead
+ of Cactus extensions (by using special Cactus TestSuite objects). This
+ will allow to easily execute the same test outside and inside of the
+ container (for test not depending on container objects).
</li>
</ul>
- <p>
- All of these are currently enabled in Cactus 1.2 and greater, though
- we'd like to do more work on facilitating EJB and Taglib testing (like
- unit testing MDB EJBs easily, etc).
