hum... I'm not sure it goes in the framework, the reason being it needs Cactus itself and all the container configurations/scripts which are located in the "spines/frontends"/ant directory. > or at > least out of the sample-servlet. I'm not 100% sure. I've always considered these tests to be real useful to learn how to use Cactus as they show almost every possibility of using Cactus. So, not only are they regression tests, they are also documentation/samples. I do agree they are not at exactly the same level as the provided few "real" samples. I can see 3 solutions: A/ Leave both the test suite and the "real" samples in sample-servlet, adding a README file explaining the difference. B/ Remove the few "real" samples and make sample-servlet a regression suite that also acts as documentation/sample. This means removing the src/sample directory and only keeping the src/unit one (which could be renamed should we wish) C/ Make 2 subprojects in jakarta-cactus/samples: servlet/ : "real" samples testsuite/ : regression test suite Then, the last question is whether the regression test suite is packaged in the cactus distribution or not. Personally, I find C/ the most complex as it means a new subproject and thus a new build. I think my preference would go towards B/. What about you?
