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. -----Original Message----- From: Tejaswini Yardi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2007 4:09 AM To: cactus-user@jakarta.apache.org Subject: Re: Where do I put code to be executed only once for entire testclass 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 ?
