I FOUND IT!!! Here's the problem statement I had in my previous post: "I am fairly certain my local (non-server-side) JVM is finding the class, 'cuz the only hint I give that I'm looking for my test class is the following in the batchtest: <include name="**/AllTestsCactus.*" /> ... and the error comes back with the fully-qualified path name. (I.e. com.icat.blah.AllTestsCactus...)"
While the batchtest was able to find the test Class in that directory, I hadn't included that directory in my classpath. So, contrary to my assumptions, the error was on the CLIENT side! Thanks to all who tried to help! - Nelz -----Original Message----- From: Carpentier, Nelson Sent: Friday, October 14, 2005 4:17 PM To: cactus-user@jakarta.apache.org Subject: Grrrrr... java.lang.ClassNotFoundException Hey All... I've been beating my head against the Cactus wall for about 3 days now... I think I've made a bunch of progress, however my headway seems to have stopped. (Some of my previous trials include: using WebLogic 8.1, figuring out to use the <cactus> ant task with the generic container to use my pre-existing deploy tasks, losing 3/4 of a day to a typo, etc...) (Sorry for the blatant attempt at garnering sympathy, it's just I figured some on this list would feel my pain...) Now, on to my question: Where are my test classes supposed to be? I keep hitting the "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException". (Full stack trace to be included at the end...) I am fairly certain my local (non-server-side) JVM is finding the class, 'cuz the only hint I give that I'm looking for my test class is the following in the batchtest: <include name="**/AllTestsCactus.*" /> ... and the error comes back with the fully-qualified path name. (I.e. com.icat.blah.AllTestsCactus...) I'm also fairly certain the cactus.war file is deployed correctly, because the <cactus> task returns from the deploy in a timely manner, and when I hit it manually, I get a non-error, blank page back from "http://localhost:7001/cactus/ServletRedirector?RUN_TEST."; So, I've gone thru 3 different ways of including the test classes in the EAR file, none of which rid me of the ClassNotFoundException: 1) In the EAR file, with the package structure directly at the top of the archive... I.e. earfile.ear/com/icat/blah/AllTestsCactus.class ... (I figured out that this probably wouldn't work out for me at all...) 2) In the EAR file, under the /APP-INF/classes directory... I.e. earfile.ear/APP-INF/classes/com/icat/blah/AllTestsCactus.class... (Where just about all the other classes seem to be...) 3) In the cactus war file, under the /WEB-INF/classes directory... I.e. earfile.ear/cactus.war/WEB-INF/classes/com/icat/blah/AllTestsCactus.clas s... For #3 above, to get these classes in, I've been doing the following against a deployable ear: <cactifyear srcfile="${ear}" destfile="${ear.test}" > <cactuswar context="/cactus" version="2.3"> <classes dir="${test.classes.dir} "> <include name="**/*.class" /> </classes> </cactuswar> </cactifyear> Thanks for any help... (Or a slap in the head, if I'm doing something stupid...) - Nelz PS.
