Hi David, Cactus is definitely not a web testing framework. It's a unit testing framework (i.e. testing at the level of methods) for all J2EE components (including EJBs). You're not the first one to think Cactus is a web testing framework. I wonder why... :-)
Cactus also provides way to start/stop/configure automatically all types of containers, including JBoss (not openEJB nor Geronimo yet unfortunately as I haven't had the time to look into those yet). BTW, I have created a few months ago the Cargo framework (http://cargo.codehaus.org) which is a Java API to start/stop/configure/deploy J2EE containers. It also provides Ant tasks and will soon have a Maven plugin. Filip, you should have a look at the EJB sample that comes in the Cactus distribution. It does what you want I think.
