Welcome Chris!We have received 3 +1 votes for Chris which makes it enough (one of the commiters, Jari, is no longer active and may not be monitoring the Cactus ML anymore). I'm sending a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to add Chris as a committer.
Cool, thanks :-)
Okay, here we go...Chris, you can start preparing your introductory message to explain to the others who you are and what are your itches ;-)
I'm currently studying computer science in Wiesbaden, Germany, but hopefully not for much longer. Every other day I go work for a small company in Frankfurt mostly doing C++ and web development. Web-based, distributed applications have become my favorite playground, especially using Java/J2EE.
I've become a committer on the Jakarta subproject Slide about one and a half years ago, when I was knees deep into the WebDAV-related specifications and playing with different implementations of WebDAV clients and servers. For Slide I've created a custom tag library that could be used to navigate and display the content in Slide repositories. The taglib comes in two variants: one targetting JSP1.1 based on the Struts tags, the other targetting JSP1.2 based on JSTL.
As the tags were rapidly growing in complexity I started investigating ways to test JSP tag libraries, which led me straight to Cactus. I'm now using Cactus (as well as Ant, JUnit and XDoclet) in every project (except for Slide, but that's another story).
I think Cactus is a very cool piece of software, backed by an idea that has a lot of potential. I want to help with making Cactus easier to use, both from the test development perspective (see the JspTagLifecycle helper class I've submitted) as well as from the test execution perspective. Also, I'm gonna try to straighten out some edges in the Cactus build process, so that it may be easier for others to get involved.
