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
