Hi, Thanks for the welcome and the response!
Ok so before I modified my assert, I took it out to see what happens. My class looking like: package myapp.ejb.service; import javax.naming.Context; import javax.naming.InitialContext; import javax.naming.NamingException; import org.apache.cactus.ServletTestCase; import org.apache.cactus.WebRequest; import org.apache.cactus.client.authentication.FormAuthentication; import org.apache.log4j.Logger; public class UserTest extends ServletTestCase { private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(UserTest.class); public UserTest(final String name) { super(name); } public void begin(WebRequest theRequest) { System.out.println("inside begin()"); theRequest.setRedirectorName("ServletRedirectorSecure"); theRequest.setAuthentication(new FormAuthentication("test", "test")); } public void setUp() throws Exception { log.info("inside setUp() "); } protected void tearDown() throws Exception { log.info("inside tearDown() "); } public void testGetUserString() { log.info("inside testGetUserString()"); } } So points are: 1) This test fails. 2) This test is successful if I take out the WebRequest operations in the begin(...) method. Why? 3) I'm not sure if I mentioned in my last email ... the xml files are not generating at all even though I followed the example app so I cannot see any output there :(: Nicole The contents of this email are confidential and may be subject to legal or professional privilege and copyright.
