RE: urgent help needed -to run cactus on jboss-4.2.0

First off, I was never able to get cactus to run
out of the box on JBoss 4.2.x.  I had to patch it.
You can see my patch at http://danlipofsky.com/technical/cactus/
My cactus tests ran on other app servers (Orion 2.0.7 and
WebSphere 6.0).  They seem to work pretty well on JBoss 4.2.2
with this patch, but it is definitely a hack.

If anyone has a better way please let me know.

Here are my ant targets.
It's probably more complex than you need.
Hopefully the vars are self-explanatory.
Don't start or stop the server but does test that it is running.

<target name="test.cactus.all" depends="init">
    <antcall target="test.cactus.generic">
        <param name="cactus_test_target" value="test.cactus.junit"/>
        <param name="cactus_test_pattern" value="**/*Test.java"/>
    </antcall>
</target>

<!-- run the Cactus tests (takes ${cactus_test_target} param) -->
<target name="test.cactus.generic" depends="init" description="run the
Cactus tests on the core module">

    <echo>test.cactus.generic: target=${cactus_test_target}</echo>
    <echo>cactusContextURL: ${cactusContextURL}</echo>
    <fail unless="cactus_test_target" message="Missing
cactus_test_target parameter"/>

    <!-- Check if server is running -->
    <delete file="${java.io.tmpdir}/servercheck.txt" />
    <get
src="${install.frontend_server_protocol}://${install.frontend_server_nam
e}:${install.frontend_server_port}/ws/"
dest="${java.io.tmpdir}/servercheck.txt" ignoreerrors="yes" />
    <fail message="Cannot connect to
${install.frontend_server_protocol}://${install.frontend_server_name}:${
install.frontend_server_port}/ws/">

    Start application before running this task.

        <condition>
            <not>
                <available file="${java.io.tmpdir}/servercheck.txt" />
            </not>
        </condition>
    </fail>

    <!-- Define the Cactus tasks -->
    <taskdef resource="cactus.tasks">
        <classpath refid="test.jar.path" />
    </taskdef>

    <runservertests
testurl="${cactusContextURL}/ServletTestRunner?Cactus_Service=RUN_TEST"
starttarget="test.server.start.bogus"
stoptarget="test.server.stop.bogus" testtarget="${cactus_test_target}"
/>
</target>

<target name="test.cactus.junit" depends="init">

    <echo>test.cactus.junit: pattern=${cactus_test_pattern}</echo>
    <fail unless="cactus_test_target" message="Missing
cactus_test_target parameter"/>

    <mkdir dir="${test.report.dir}" />
    <junit printsummary="yes" fork="yes">

        <sysproperty key="baseDirectory" value="${install.dir}" />

        <formatter type="xml" />

        <batchtest fork="yes" todir="${test.report.dir}">
            <fileset dir="${test.src.web.dir}">
                <include name="${cactus_test_pattern}" />
                <exclude name="**/*BaseTest.java" />
            </fileset>
            <fileset dir="${test.generated.java.dir}">
                <include name="${cactus_test_pattern}" />
            </fileset>
        </batchtest>
    </junit>
</target>
