Even ignoring my Jakarta-Apache involvement, I had become aware of Cactus
through articles [i think] and mention in the media. However, there's no
real meme [I think is the phrase] for Cactus. I know that Cactus is Java,
I know it tests web pages somehow (least it's hooked up in there) but I
don't have a good idea as to why I would choose it, how it differs from
httpunit etc. [A quick look at the website shows that my initial
assumption was off a touch, it tests Java server-side components].

So for me personally, and I suspect other people who are aware of Cactus,
there's not a real understanding first off of where it fits in, the level
of effort to use etc.

[adding it to article list to write at some point, though I'm sure there
are many out there. ]

Probably not much use, but a report from a prospective customer can
sometimes be of interest. I'd say Cactus is marketing the brand okay, but
not the meme. Not that I really understand brands or memes :)
