Running cactus test from web-browser with custom parameters

[Ivan Kaschenko]

Hi, guys!

I have a question but couldn't find a proper location to place it in. Would
you be so kind to skim it though and, maybe, give me some links where I can
get information I need?

As specified in Cactus documentation, running test from web-browser must be
performed as follows:

http://server:port/webapp/ServletTestRunner?suite=testcasename

It would be extremely convinient to parametrize tests from such requests. I
mean adding parameters list in a way as http GET request syntax specifies:

http://server:port/webapp/ServletTestRunner?suite=testcasename&param1=value1
&param2=value2 etc.

Optional parameters are custom ones and must be passes to request (within
test) without any modification. They must be accessible via
WebRequest.getParameter(String) call. Default value must be provided. For
example:

public void beginXXX(WebRequest theRequest) throws Exception {
    String param1 = theRequest.getParameter("search_keyword");
    if (param1 == null)
        theRequest.addParameter("search_keyword", "Cactus");
    [...]
 }

General benefit is test parametrization which doesn't require recompiling
and redeploying web-application (you understand it may be time-consuming).

Greetings,
Ivan.
