Setting up Cactus Tests with NetBeans IDE 3.5, Tomcat 4.1.24, and CactusStrutsTest 1.9.6

[Alejandro]

Hello,       I am using the CactusStrutsTestCase class to test Struts Actions using Cactus. I am all confused by the configuration. This is my current setup:   - NetBeans IDE v3.5 - Tomcat 4.1.24 - Cactus 1.4.1 - Struts 1.0 - StrutsTest 1.9.6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Web App (Classes under Test - http:\\localhost:8080\bulletinBoard): c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24\webapps\bulletinBoard\WEB-INF\lib\argyle.jar (this JAR includes:     org.cait.argyle.module.bulletinBoard.struts.action.AddTopicAction   2. Test Files (Cactus): c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.24\webapps\bulletinBoard\TestAddTopicAction   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1) Is this setup correct? 2) According to the documentation I put the Cactus' properties files as follows:   "Client Side":     I added the cactus.properties and log4j.properties to my CLASSPATH in NetBeans by right-clicking and set "Add to Project".   "Container Side":     - cactus.properties and log4j at:    ...\webapps\bulletinBoard\   but every time I try to run my tests, Cactus complains with the following errors:   .E Time: 0.07 There was 1 error: 1) testFailedAddTopic(bulletinBoard.TestAddTopicAction)org.apache.cactus.util.ChainedRuntimeException: Missing Cactus property [cactus.contextURL]         at org.apache.cactus.util.Configuration.getContextURL(Configuration.java:185)         at org.apache.cactus.util.ServletConfiguration.getServletRedirectorURL(ServletConfiguration.java:94)         at org.apache.cactus.client.ServletHttpClient.getRedirectorURL(ServletHttpClient.java:87)         at org.apache.cactus.client.AbstractHttpClient.callRunTest(AbstractHttpClient.java;org/apache/cactus/util/log/LogAspect.aj(1k):184)         at org.apache.cactus.client.AbstractHttpClient.dispatch2_doTest(AbstractHttpClient.java;org/apache/cactus/util/log/LogAspect.aj(1k):109)         at org.apache.cactus.client.AbstractHttpClient.around2_doTest(AbstractHttpClient.java;org/apache/cactus/util/log/LogAspect.aj(1k):1218)         at org.apache.cactus.client.AbstractHttpClient.doTest(AbstractHttpClient.java;org/apache/cactus/util/log/LogAspect.aj(1k):104)         at org.apache.cactus.AbstractWebTestCase.runGenericTest(AbstractWebTestCase.java:260)         at org.apache.cactus.ServletTestCase.runTest(ServletTestCase.java:133)         at org.apache.cactus.AbstractTestCase.runBare(AbstractTestCase.java:195)         at bulletinBoard.TestAddTopicAction.main(TestAddTopicAction.java:96) FAILURES!!!
