Have fixed the problem.
Lessons learnt:
1. Although placing the Tester and Tested classes in {javahome}/jre/lib/ext
works, it's certainly NOT the way to do it.
2. Clean out the classpath. I'm running on Win98 system and it doesn't
handle my overloaded classpath very well, together with Tomcat's overloaded
/lib folder.
3. Tomcat 3.2.1 does not work with Servlet API 2.3
Errors (and what they mean)
Error: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError:
java.util.MissingResourceException:
Can't find bundle for base name cactus, locale en_US at
java.util.ResourceBundle.throwMissingResourceException(Unknown Source)
Meaning: The folder cactus.properties is in is NOT in your classpath
Error: java.io.FileNotFoundException:
http://localhost:8080/servlettest/ServletRedirector at
sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.getInputStream(Unknown Source)
at
org.apache.commons.cactus.client.ServletHttpClient.doTest(ServletHttp
Meaning: Servlet Redirector not set up properly. Consult /webapps/web.xml
Error: ClassNotFoundException org/apache/commons/cactus/ ... not found
Meaning: commons-cactus.jar not in your classpath
Error: javax.servlet.ServletException: Error instanciating
class[TestSampleServlet]
Meaning: You've got EVERYTHING ELSE right and likely to be last error in
your way. Probably something wrong with the server-side classpath. Ensure
that the jar file is in your classpath, and that the WAR file is deployed
correctly in Servlet Container. For WinXX systems, I recommend that any
changes to classpath made to c:\autoexec.bat should be followed with a
restart for changes to fully take effect.
Anyone facing any more problems with getting Cactus to work (in particular
with WinXX systems), please don't hesistate to contact me. :)
