PS My custom excluded.properties file looks like this: # # The list of excluded package paths for the TestCaseClassLoader # excluded.0=sun.* excluded.1=com.sun.* excluded.2=org.omg.* excluded.3=javax.* excluded.4=sunw.* excluded.5=java.* excluded.6=org.w3c.dom.* excluded.7=org.xml.sax.* excluded.8=net.jini.* excluded.9=org.apache.commons.logging.* -----Original Message----- From: John Lindwall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 18, 2004 3:06 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Help with "Exception in constructor java.lang.VerifyError" Cactus 1.6.1 With either the provided comnons logging 1.0.3 or the newer 1.0.4 I get the following error when running my test via ant. I do not get this error when running inside of IntelliJ or via the servlet-based TestRunner provided with cactus. I tried creating an exlcuded.properties and putting it my classpath to exclude org.apache.commons.logging.* but that dfoesn't help. Any ideas?
