Hi, Vincent,
Hope you don't mind me emailing you directly. Since it's getting much more
detailed, I think maybe I just email you instead of the mailing list.
Thanks for the instructions. But I still have several questions
1. Step A.1: Is this the directory structure for my project at client
side or directory on Weblogic? (I assume it is on Weblogic)
2. Step A.2, A.3., A.4, A.5, I also assumed that these should be done
on Weblogic. Correct?
3. Step A.6, where and how do I define weblogic.Server? Do you mean to
set this as the main class to run?
4. Step A.6, if I start weblogic manually using startWebLogic.cmd on
the Weblogic server, what class do I start in IDE? The ConvertTest class
with a main method? (assume using the sample code provided with EJB Howto)
Hope to hear from you.
Thanks a lot,
Sean

Subject: Best way to run Cactus in an IDE (WAS RE:
Using Cactus to test EJB deployed to Weblogic6.1)
Here is I think the best way to run Cactus tests from an
IDE. I'll use
WebLogic 6.1 as an example but it works with any other
application
server although you need to adapt it a bit (you can have a
look at the
Ant scripts provided as part of the Cactus distribution to
learn how to
start your servlet engine/application server in a directory
other than
the default).
A - Setup
-----------
1/ Have the following kind of directory structure :
myproject
|_ src
|_ output
|_config
|_ mydomain
|_ applications
|_ mywebapp
|_ WEB-INF
|_ classes
|_ web.xml
|_ lib
|_ config.xml
|_ SerializedsystemIni.dat
|_ fileRealm.properties
2/ In your IDE, set the output classes directory to be
myproject/output/config/mydomain/applications/mywebapp/WEB-INF/classes
3/ Ensure that you have the cactus redirectors defined in
web.xml
4/ Copy cactus.properties to
myproject/output/config/mydomain/applications/mywebapp/WEB-INF/classes
5/ Ensure that you have cactus.jar, junit.jar,
commons-httpclient.jar
(and optionally log4j.jar) in
myproject/output/config/mydomain/applications/mywebapp/WEB-INF/lib
6/ Create an entry in your IDE to start weblogic, using the
following
parameters :
class name : weblogic.Server
class path : weblogic_sp.jar (if it exists) and weblogic.jar
jvm arguments :
"-hotspot"
"-ms64m"
"-mx64m"
"-Djava.library.path=<bea home>/wlserver6.1/bin"
"-Dweblogic.RootDirectory=myproject/output"
"-Dweblogic.Domain=mydomain"
"-Dweblogic.Name=testserver" (name defined in your WL
config.xml file)
"-Dbea.home=<bea home>"
"-Dweblogic.management.password=<your password>"
"-Djava.security.policy==./lib/weblogic.policy"
B- Running a test
------------------
1/ Start weblogic from the defined entry above (in step
A-6). You only
need to do this once and do not need to repeat it for each
test.
Modified classes should be reloaded automatically. If your
IDE does not
support this, you may have to start weblogic manually
beforehand, using
a script for example.
*WARNING* : Make sure that your IDE does not prepend your
output classes
directory to the classpath being used to start weblogic.
Otherwisem your
classes will be loaded using the system classloader and
won't be
reloadable, which means you would have to repeat this step
for each test
run.
2/ Choose a test case class with a main method and run it.
Normally your
IDE will prepend to the classpath the output classes
directory. Normally
you would also have included the cactus.jar, junit.jar,
commons-httpclient.jar in your project classpath (to
compile the
project), thus they would also be added. As you put
cactus.properties in
WEB-INF/classes (i.e. in your class output directory) the
client part of
cactus will find it. Configure cactus.properties to point to
http://localhost:<port used in
config.xml>/mywebapp/ServletRedirector
3/ Try modifying the test class or a class under test and
rerun it
without stopping weblogic. The changes should be picked up.
C- Conclusion
-------------
I'm writing this from memory so I may be forgetting stuff.
Tell me if it
works. I'll try it when I have some time ... If you tell me
it works,
I'll put these instructions on the cactus web site.
Thanks
