Hi Trevor, The solution for what you ask is the WebRequest.setURL() method that you need to call in your beginXXX method. If I recall correctly the first parameter is the server name you wish to have.
Please see the website doc or better yet, the cactus tests in sample/servlet (found in the cactus distribution you downloaded). -Vincent > -----Original Message----- > From: Trevor Porter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 16 September 2003 02:46 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Cactus ant integration and cactus.contextURL > > Hi all, > > I just discovered a limitation with Cactus when trying to use the cactus > ant task while overriding the default contextURL using one of the > prescribed methods.
