Hi Carissa,
Cactus does not currently offer the option of viewing directly the test
result in a browser. You have to start it using a JUnit Test Runner (be it
the text runner or the graphical runners). Also, what you are doing in your
beginXXX() method is what is done by the Cactus framework itself and you're
not supposed to call the Redirector servlet yourself as a lot of internal
HTTP parameters are also passed to it ... In other words, the Redirector
Servlet is not meant to be a public API, meaning it can change a lot between
different releases of Cactus.
Thanks
Vincent
