Personally I never use Ant's war or ear tasks in general and that goes
for cactification. The convenience of those methods is somewhere between
diddly and squat, IMO.
I create a jar using the Ant jar task that just has my tests: test.jar.
<target name="assemble-test" description="create test jar">
<jar jarfile="${lib}/test.jar">
<fileset dir="${out}">
<include name="com/acme/test/**/*"/>
</fileset>
</jar>
</target>
Then I update my EAR, which is already build, with my tests:
<target name="assemble-test-ear" description="stuff ear with test jar">
<jar jarfile="${lib}/${ear}" update="true">
<fileset dir="${lib}">
<include name="test.jar"/>
</fileset>
</jar>
</target>
Now, your problem is probably that you cannot "see" the test.jar from
the WAR. IMO WEB-INF and APP-INF are problematic. Instead, I create a
precise chain of dependencies using manifests. So, to see my test.jar
from my war, create the war with this manifest:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Class-Path: test.jar ... other stuff the war sees ...
I have never, ever, use WEB-INF/classes or WEB-INF/lib and I never have
more than one copy of a given jar anywhere in my deployed application.
Using the manifest gives me total control.

Subject: Grrrrr... java.lang.ClassNotFoundException
Hey All...
I've been beating my head against the Cactus wall for about 3 days
now... I think I've made a bunch of progress, however my headway seems
to have stopped. (Some of my previous trials include: using WebLogic
8.1, figuring out to use the <cactus> ant task with the generic
container to use my pre-existing deploy tasks, losing 3/4 of a day to a
typo, etc...)
(Sorry for the blatant attempt at garnering sympathy, it's just I
figured some on this list would feel my pain...)
Now, on to my question:
Where are my test classes supposed to be?
I keep hitting the "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException". (Full stack
trace to be included at the end...)
I am fairly certain my local (non-server-side) JVM is finding the class,
'cuz the only hint I give that I'm looking for my test class is the
following in the batchtest:
<include name="**/AllTestsCactus.*" />
... and the error comes back with the fully-qualified path name. (I.e.
com.icat.blah.AllTestsCactus...)
I'm also fairly certain the cactus.war file is deployed correctly,
because the <cactus> task returns from the deploy in a timely manner,
and when I hit it manually, I get a non-error, blank page back from
"http://localhost:7001/cactus/ServletRedirector?RUN_TEST.";
So, I've gone thru 3 different ways of including the test classes in the
EAR file, none of which rid me of the ClassNotFoundException:
1) In the EAR file, with the package structure directly at the top of
the archive... I.e. earfile.ear/com/icat/blah/AllTestsCactus.class ...
(I figured out that this probably wouldn't work out for me at all...)
2) In the EAR file, under the /APP-INF/classes directory... I.e.
earfile.ear/APP-INF/classes/com/icat/blah/AllTestsCactus.class...
(Where just about all the other classes seem to be...)
3) In the cactus war file, under the /WEB-INF/classes directory... I.e.
earfile.ear/cactus.war/WEB-INF/classes/com/icat/blah/AllTestsCactus.clas
s...
For #3 above, to get these classes in, I've been doing the following
against a deployable ear:
<cactifyear srcfile="${ear}" destfile="${ear.test}" >
<cactuswar context="/cactus" version="2.3">
<classes dir="${test.classes.dir} ">
<include name="**/*.class" />
</classes>
</cactuswar>
</cactifyear>
Thanks for any help... (Or a slap in the head, if I'm doing something
stupid...)
