Hi,
Here is the updated status. At this point I have the plugin working! But
of course, with a caveat or two!
Caveats:
1) I only have tested against Tomcat 4.1.18.
2) Currently, if you need a custom server.xml type file, then you have to
edit the plugin's copy of the server.xml.
3) web.xml is currently a property you set that points to a web.xml has all
the proper entries for cactus setting.
4) only expanded webapps are supported ie:
maven clean test war:webapp cactus:test
vs
maven clean test war cactus:test
5) Redeploying into a running tomcat instance seems broken.
Future Enhancements:
1) Merge your server.xml into the tomcat test server.xml for your context/
override test context with your test context. Good for things like JNDI
stuff.
2) Add some sort of unit testing to validate the darn thing works!
Now, I can either email you a copy of the plugin, and you can run the
builtin sample and see what happens, or wait until I get it into CVS and
then try it from there. Let me know, I'll email you the updated plugin
directly to avoid spamming the list with a zip file.
I would appreciate any work you can do on the documentation, your
perspective as a new user can be very useful!
Eric

Subject: RE: Cactus plugin with maven beta 8. I am totally lost. HELP
Hi,
Is there any news about the Cactus plugin. I am really looking forward to
learn how to use it. I think that Cactus and Maven both make a superb
combination. A good simple example with supported documentation will be
really helpful. Infact if I knew how to use the Cactus plugin, I would of
stepped out and written a documentation myself, and contribute it. But I
have no clue at all, on how to use the Cactus plugin and generate reports
being displayed from Maven. As I have mentioned earlier in this thread that
I have tried alot for a few days to get Cactus working from Maven, but I
have failed. I even tried the sample application that comes with maven
plugin, but no luck their either.
By the way, those people that have got Cactus working in previous versions
of maven, can u tell me, when testing with Cactus, is there a link generated
under Project Reports called something like "Cactus Report" , or is this
report available inside the "Unit tests" reports.
My configuration.
Maven Beta 8
Windows 2000
Sun Java SDK 1.4.1
