Re: [wtp-dev] Submitted Cactus Run-On-Server capability

[Timothy Deboer <deboer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

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,

Subject	[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_______________________________________________
