Hi Richard, As you have guessed there are 2 ways to pass the cactus.contextURL system property:
- in the classpath. But that's the client classpath (i.e. from where the JUnit Test Runner is run). As you're running the tests using the Cactus ServletTestRunner, that means that you can put cactus.properties in the mywebapp/WEB-INF/classes directory. - by passing it to the JVM using the "-D" prefix. (and of course by setting it in your test case but that's not the best way). As I'm answering a but late, you may already have make it work...
