Cactus is a unit testing framework for testing server side java code. Goals ----- -The main focus for version 1.5-rc1 was on usability. We had several user -requests to make Cactus easier to get started with. The web site has -been overhauled to provide better doc navigation and contains several -new tutorials. In addition, several new front -ends for Cactus have been added: Ant integration, Maven integration -Jetty integration, and an experimental Eclipse plugin. - -It should be noted that the Eclipse plugin for Cactus is not part of -Cactus 1.5-rc1 as it is still experimental. It is available in Cactus -nightly build area (http://jakarta.apache.org/cactus/downloads.html). -Your feedback is important to make it production ready. If you're an -Eclipse user, make sure you try it (it is documented on -http://jakarta.apache.org/cactus/integration/eclipse/index.html). +[add description of main focus here] Main new features ----------------- -The following main features have been added: -* Added support for begin()/end() that are run before and after each - test on the client side (mirrors setUp()/tearDown() which are run - before and after each test on the server side). -* Special Jetty integration to automatically start Jetty when executing - a test suite -* Added support for Form-based authentication -* Added support for i8n -* Added new JspTagLifecycle class to help unit test taglibs -* Added support for JBoss in Ant integration -* Added support for server-side XSLT when running Cactus tests from a - browser -* New Ant integration (<cactifywar> and <cactus> Ant tasks). Note that - version 1.5-rc1 has added support for WebLogic 7.x as compared to - version 1.5-beta1. -* Added ability to run pure JUnit tests seamlessly on the server side -* Lots of other new features. For a full feature list, see - http://jakarta.apache.org/cactus/features.html +[add main new features here] Changes ------- Please check the Changes page at http://jakarta.apache.org/cactus/changes.html for a full list of the -changes in version 1.5-rc1. +changes in version <v>. Known limitations and bugs: --------------------------- -* Support for WebLogic 6.x has not been tested. This is because BEA is - no longer providing a download for WebLogic 6.x (unless you're a BEA - customer). -* [Bug 21484] ClassCastException when casting WebAppRequestDispatcher -* [Bug 21237] CactifyWarTask duplicates init-param lines in existing - web.xml servlet tag -* [Bug 17933] FormAuthentication assumes "localhost" when adding cookies -* [Bug 17077] Code page problems under WebSphere z/OS -* [Bug 17653] result is null in AbstractWebTestCaller's doGetResults() - method. Note that this bug is probably due to a race condition problem - that happens very unfrequently and which is not yet resolved. It will be - solved in an upcoming point release. -* Some binary incompatiblity was introduced by the refactoring of the - XXXTestCase class hierarchy. Whereas it was previously inheriting from - AbstractWebTestCase and AbstractTestCase, it is now simply inheriting - from JUnit TestCase. Thus all non-public API are now not visible from - users (as they should be). If you had some framework compiled with - Cactus 1.4.1 and using some methods from AbstractWebTestCase or - AbstractTestCase, you'll need to recompile it with Cactus 1.5-rc1 or - you might get a NoClassDefFoundError exception. We'll be more careful in the - future. +[add main limitations and known bugs here] For more information about Cactus, please visit http://jakarta.apache.org/cactus/.
