I think I have an idea why it is not working ... :-)
In your war (whether it is expanded or not) you need to have the following
jars (see http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/cactus/installation.html, step
3 - I know the doc is not clear on this subject and 99.99% of the problems
with cactus are with the classpath so I really ought to improve the doc and
write the auto config tool I mentionned) :
- your classes under test
- your test classes
- commons-cactus.jar
- junit.jar (this is what is missing I think and thus the servlet redirector
cannot instanciate your test class probably)
you don't need commons-cactus-ant.jar for the server side classpath (only
for the client side and only if you're using Ant).
What I need to figure out is why the error message is so unexplicit ! We
need to improve it. I'll try to reproduce it by removing junit.jar from my
classpath and improve the error message ...
Tell me if it works ...
