Hi Tim,
Thanks for the feedback. Cactus is really
only required on the user’s classpath, so we could certainly go with an
error message for now, although it would be nice if it eventually worked
out-of-the-box, so to speak.
I do not have a committer yet: anyone
interested in helping me get this thing into the build? My instinct is for it
to be its own plug-in, but I don’t feel strongly about it. What component
do you think this belongs in? jst.server perhaps?
Once we figure these things I will do the
cleanup. I don’t think it is going to have a publicly exposed API right
away so I will move it all to internal.
Thanks,
Dan

Cactus Run-On-Server capability
Hi Dan,
I
haven't had a chance to run it yet, but looking at the code it looks like
you've picked up the fundamentals very well. Are the Cactus dependancies
required by the plugin, or just in the user's classpath? It if is required by
the plugin, it may take some time to get legally approved before this could be
included in a build. If it is only required for the user, then maybe an
appropriate error message when the user tries to use the function would suffice
for now.
If
you haven't already, the next step will be finding and convincing a committer
that they should "own" this function and get it into the build.
You'll also need to discuss whether it should stay a separate plugin, or just be
bundled into an existing plugin for now. Finally, you'll need to do some
cleanup like making all of the packages internal so that you're not declaring
it all as API, and renaming the plugin to match an existing component.
Thanks,
Tim

[wtp-dev] Submitted Cactus Run-On-Server
capability
|

For those of you who are interested in server-side testing, I have
attached a plug-in project to bug 90003 which enables Run-On-Server capability
to Servlet test cases. There is a readme in the project which includes the
manual steps currently necessary to run a test. Eventually, I hope to make the
process completely automated, but I haven’t figured out how all that will
work yet.
One
roadblock is that a number of Cactus dependencies will need to be bundled.
Currently they need to be downloaded separately.
I hope
you will give the plug-in a try and let me know how it can be improved.
Thanks,
Dan_______________________________________________
