Hi, I was able to get the cactus example from http://jakarta.apache.org/cactus/integration/howto_tomcat.html working with just a few deviations. 0) I followed the directions from the page above. 1) The quickstart guide has a different list of jars than what I see after unpacking the 1.8 download. I copied all of the jars to %TOMCAT_HOME%\common\lib. 2) I needed to find and download commons-coded-1.3.jar. I put it in the same common\lib directory. 3) I needed to find find and download aspectjtools.jar.. I used http://www.docjars.com/ I put it in the common\lib directory. With NetBeans, I didn't do anything special. I created a web application and I put the example files in src/java/. NetBeans might complain about putting the files in the default package but it ran anyway. I set the Relative URL to ServletTestRunner?suite=TestSampleServlet
