Hello All, I downloaded the "jakarta-cactus-13-1.5-beta1" to perform the servlet testing. In my company, we have automated the EJB unit testing using JUnitEE framework and after lot of searching we decided that Cactus is best for automating servlet testing. I am running into lot of problems to setup test environment. I am writing down what exactly i am trying to do and it would be great if you can provide me some help.
I have a web application which has servlets deployed on weblogic 6.1 SP5. I want to test these servlets but not using any JunitRunner or any UI tool instead i want to be able to run the test cases from the browser. To explain the problem i will refer the webapplication that has servlets to be tested as "app1". I created another webapplication called "app2" and has both the servlets and my test classes under web-inf/classes. In the web-inf/lib of app2 i placed all the jar files that are listed in the documentation along with xalan for html generation. I added 'cactus.properties' under web-inf/classes which has "cactus.contextURL=http://localhost:7001/app1"; and cactus.servletRedirectorName = ServletRedirector defined. In "app1" which is my server, I also added my test classes under web-inf/classes and made changes to web.xml to add entries for "ServletRedirector". I also added all the libraries under web-inf/lib for server too. When i start my weblogic and access the test classes in app2 like in this URL.. http://localhost:7001/app2/ServletTestRunner?suite=TestMasterCatalogServlet&; transform=yes I assumed that this will invoke the test classes in app2 and will execute beginXXX() at this end and on "app1" side it will execute "setUp(), textXXX(), tearDown()" in that order. But what happpens is it executes beginXXX( ), doesn't print the statement in setUp() but executes testXXx() and throws NullPointerException when either "session" or "request" are accessed. Based on above scenario i have following doubts.. 1. Can i use 2 different contexts like app1, app2 in weblogic, one as server and another as client? (They run on same instance of weblogic) 2. As a follow up question, is it must to run client on seperate JVM? 3. I placed "cactus.properties" file in web-inf/classes of the client application, but it doesn't seem to be loading it when i printed the "theRequest.getRedirectorName()" in beginXXx() it printed Null so i explicitly did this "theRequest.setRedirectorName("ServletRedirector");". I maybe totally on wrong track, i will be glad to provide any details.. Could you please help me?
