Subject: [Cactus v2 - VOTE] Extension to web.xml mechanism
> In order to be able to define different init values for different test
> cases, we need to expand the current Cactus web.xml mapping mechanism.
> Currently, in web.xml we define a single servlet : the Redirector Servlet,
> as in :
>
> <servlet>
> <servlet-name>ServletRedirector</servlet-name>
>
>
<servlet-class>org.apache.commons.cactus.server.ServletTestRedirector</servl
> et-class>
> <init-param>
> <param-name>param1</param-name>
> <param-value>value1 used for testing</param-value>
> </init-param>
> </servlet>
>
>
> This is not good enough, as I cannot have 2 test cases with 2 different
> "param1" values for example.
>
> * Proposition : several test mappings in web.xml
>
> I propose to write instead :
>
> <servlet>
> <!-- Default for all test cases when no testcase specific entry is
> defined -->
> <servlet-name>ServletRedirector</servlet-name>
>
>
<servlet-class>org.apache.commons.cactus.server.ServletTestRedirector</servl
> et-class>
> </servlet>
>
> <servlet>
> <servlet-name>ServletRedirector_XXX1</servlet-name>
>
>
<servlet-class>org.apache.commons.cactus.server.ServletTestRedirector</servl
> et-class>
> <init-param>
> <param-name>param1</param-name>
> <param-value>value1</param-value>
> </init-param>
> </servlet>

> <servlet>
> <servlet-name>ServletRedirector_XXX2</servlet-name>

<servlet-class>org.apache.commons.cactus.server.ServletTestRedirector</servl

> The redirector URL defined in cactus.properties will be the prefix and
will
> get the testcase name prefixed to it. Cactus will have to scan the web.xml
> file so that if no mapping is done on the name ServletRedirector_XXX it
will
> then use the URL defined in cactus.properties as is (with no suffixing).
