This isn't a question, but a comment on one issue that I've noticed with Cactus usage.
If you have a normal "web.xml" for your application, it appears there isn't a perfect answer to how to properly produce the web.xml which includes the Cactus servlets and mappings. In the FAQ, there's a demonstration of one way to do this, using a "filter" task in the ant script. This works, but it puts "noise" in the normal web.xml file. A while ago, when I had to work with a JSPC process that didn't give me a clean way to merge the normal web.xml with the generated JSP mappings, I decided to write an XSLT script that takes an input "web.xml" file and a document parameter (the web.xml to "merge" in), and produces a result "web.xml" file. It occurs to me that the same script could be used here, unchanged. As a result, you can produce a normal "web.xml" that has no testing artifacts. It's been quite a while since I've looked at this, but if anyone's interested, I'll include it here. I wouldn't be surprised if someone better at XSLT than me could improve this. The "ant" tasking to accomplish this is left as an exercise for the reader (which means I didn't bother to write it :) ). -------------- <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";> <!-- This takes a parameter indicating the name of the secondary file to merge in.
