I'm a newbie to Cactus and getting my feet wet.

Has anybody had problem with their Cactus test unable to instantiate the =
Servlet under test on the server side? I'll greatly appreciate any help =
/
hint.=20

I came across NoClassDefFoundError issues on cactus-users mail archive, =
but my issue is different.

My cactified EAR file contains the Servlet WAR file and cactus.war file =
(which contains the Cactus test cases). The test's beginXXX() method =
executes
file, but when it enters the testXXX() method and tries to instantiate =
the Servlet to test, I get the following exception:

14:13:19,951 INFO  [STDOUT] java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: =
com/liberate/vod/web/TVPV7FrontServlet
14:13:19,952 INFO  [STDOUT]at =

ava:59)

mpl.java:25)
14:13:19,952 INFO  [STDOUT] at =
java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:585)
...

I used the following to cactify my ear file:

<cactifyear srcfile=3D"${cactify.dir}/${project.name}.ear" =
destfile=3D"${cactify.dir}/${project.name}-cactified.ear">
  <cactuswar context=3D"/cactus" version=3D"2.3">
       <classes dir=3D"${cactify.dir}/test/classes">
          <include name=3D"**/*Test.class"/>
       </classes>
  </cactuswar>
</cactifyear>

This generates cactus.war with the following structure:

WEB-INF\classes\com\liberate\vod\web\test\MyServletTest.class
WEB-INF\lib +
            |-aspectrjt-1.2.1.jar
            |-cactus-1.7.1.jar
            |-commons-logging-1.0.4.jar
            |-junit-3.8.1.jar
WEB-INF\web.xml

Clearly, my ServletTestCase is not able to reference the Servlet under =
test, even though they are under the same EAR file (different WAR file =
though -
Servlet is in application WAR and test is in cactus war). So I don't =
know if there are classloader issues involved, and if so, then how to =
get rig=3Dd
of them.

Thanks,

Nitesh
