Hi Jim,
First I'm glad it works for you. There are indeed a few strange things :
- the fact that you use <load-on-startup>. You should remove this as it is
not needed.
- the mapping in*.test (although it is correct it should also work with a
simpe mapping with no * unless this is another bug of WTE ! :) )
- a few items in the classpath set in step 4 can be removed and the
cactus.properties file can be put in WEB-INF/classes instead (as this path
is already in the webapp classpath)
However, everything else seems fine to me ...
Do you find this different than the tutorial found on the Cactus web site ?
What are the differences (I ask this so that we can correct if there are any
mistakes) ?
Thanks a lot for posting back !
-Vincent
