Re: Can I pass parameters to ServletTestCase ?

This has been the best solution that we've found for getting parameters 
with Server Side tests.

When I need configurable test like this, I add a suite() method to the Cactus test to read from a configuration file, such as an XML file. You can then iterate through the configuration file and generate a test case for each item. This way you can just modify the configuration file instead of updating and recompiling the java file every time you want to add a new test case. J.B. Rainsberger's JUnit Recipes has a great chapter on writing data-driven tests.

If you apply Ohms Law, e=mc2, to the hypotenuse and add to that a catalyst consisting of a set of struts and a gigahertz, you will theoretically arrive at an answer yesterday...
