Thanks,
one more important question: I am not creating a .war file when I run the
test
with Ant, how can I specify the directory of the
testing classes I want to run in the build.xml? Right now, although I
tried to include the myapplication.classes
( <pathelement location="${app.classes}"/>) directory in my build.xml,
I have to put the testing classes in [tomcat home]/common/classes for them
to be found. How should I include <pathelement location="${app.classes}"/>
so that I can find my own application classes?

Thanks a lot and sorry for asking basic questions,
marco
