Hi Vincent,
I'm testing an Entity bean that takes a picture and stores it in the DB. It's a somewhat contrived test, but the whole app is contrived. It's a technology demonstration that I can use to show the people who will be rotating in and out of the project over the next few years, and it will (hopefully) cover the vast majority of situations they'll encounter. In this case, the bean is pretty lame. However, I can imagine other test cases where I want a file (maybe a test CSV data file with all the test entity data, or an XML file that some intermediary session bean has to process) included in the test WAR so that cactus can load it up. My understanding is that for Local Entity beans, there is no client side, so running the setup from outside the server, a la begin() and end(), either wouldn't work, or would be poor style.
Of course, I'm still new at this too, so I could be way off. I just figured there would be a standard place to put such files so they are available server-side for testing.

Hi Mark,
The setUp() method is executed in the server side classpath. Are you sure you do not want to use a begin() method instead? (see http://jakarta.apache.org/cactus/writing/howto_testcase.html).

I'm sure this is documented all over the place, but for the life of me, I couldn't find it after looking for the two hours or so. I'm using the maven plugin to run my cactus tests. In the setUp() method, I'd like to load a couple of image files to use in the testing. Where in the directory structure would I put those files so the are accessible with getClass().getResource("image.jpg") inside the setUp() method?
Thanks!
Mark
