RE: Where do I put code to be executed only once for entire testclass

TestSetup is a standard JUnit class, so you shouldn't have any problem
importing this class. You generally have to extend this class or create
an anonymous instance of the class as shown below. It is for exercising
code before and/or after running a suite of test cases.

You can use TestSetup in Cactus, but it is very tricky. This is because
TestSetup is executed on the client-side of Cactus' client-server
architecture. I use it to persist users to a database prior to running a
test on my server against these users (TestSetup.setUp()), and then for
removing these users once the test is completed (TestSetup.tearDown()). 

I am no sure how you would use it for performing server-side
authentication, perhaps you can call a special server-side servlet (or
.jsp page) from TestSetup.setUp() that performs this authentication for
you. Have the servlet return an errorCode indicating whether the single
authentication was successful or not.

Good luck,
Nick.

What is TestSetup class? I am not being able to execute it since i am
not
sure from where to import this class. Also i have one suite class which
calls test methods for my different test classes - would the
authenticated
details remain in the request object when the control gets passed to
these
classes ?
