Hi, Just a few words to explain what is the current roadmap for Cactus. There has been talks on this mailing list about a Cactus v2 proposal. The idea was to continue with the Cactus v1 releases but at the same time work on the next major version of Cactus. The idea was to reconcile both in-container testing with mock objects testing in Cactus v2. However, after some more thinking and researching on mock objects, it was announced to this list that 1) we were not sure it was possible and 2) that we needed to understand better mock objects and how to use them before being able to propose a unification in term of writing test cases. So the Cactus v2 proposal has been dropped. At the current time, we are working towards a Cactus v1.2 release, as described in the Roadmap/todo page (http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/cactus/todo.html). We are also working actively on the night build system so that everyone can easily get packaged versions of Cactus every day, thus incorporating all the new features, bug corrections, ... to date ! This is currently working for the Cactus for Servlet API 2.3 distribution. It is still in progress for the Servlet API 2.2 one. Hopefully it should be working around the beginning of next week. Also, we are currently working on updating the web site documentation so that it is more complete and easier to understand as a lot of you have said that they have had trouble installing/configuring Cactus at first. A lot of items have been put on the roadmap for Cactus v1.2. We would like to know which one you would like to have first so that we can decide on what to work first. It can also be items that are not curerntly listed but you think would be interesting to have. Thanks a lot. -Vincent
