Jim- Can't speak officially, but I use Cactus 1.8.1 with Tomcat 5.5.30 (which does still have the common/lib structure). I don't think you need any of those jars in Tomcat itself, although you probably need to place them in the cactified-war. In the setup I use, I only see aspectjrt (but we do some AspectJ stuff) and commons-logging (necessary, as we want Tomcat to use Log4J for its own logs) from the list you provided. However, commons-discovery, commons-httpclient, cargo, cactus, jasper and junit are in most of the cactified wars we operate on.
Good Luck- -Jeff P.S. Anyone successful at taking Cactus to Tomcat 7 yet? Pretty sure it's impossible due to cactus's use of Cargo 1.0B2 (short of recompiling Cactus), but just curious. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Babka [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, November 09, 2010 7:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Cactus tutorial needs updating The Cactus tutorial needs to be updated. It talks about Tomcat 4 (which you can't even get anymore). The real issue, though, is it says this: ---------------------------- Copy the following jars to [tomcat-root]/common/lib: cactus.jar commons-httpclient.jar commons-logging.jar junit.jar aspectjrt.jar ---------------------------- First, there is no common/lib directory in Tomcat 6, and second, those JARs do not exist in the Cactus 1.8.1 distribution. Here are the JARs that are there now: aspectjrt-1.5.3.jar cactus.core.framework.uberjar.javaEE.14-1.8.1.jar cactus.integration.ant-1.8.1.jar cactus.integration.shared.api-1.8.1.jar cargo-ant-1.0-beta-2.jar cargo-core-container-jonas-1.0-beta-2.jar cargo-core-uberjar-1.0-beta-2.jar commons-discovery-0.4.jar commons-httpclient-3.1.jar commons-logging-1.1.jar geronimo-ejb_2.1_spec-1.1.jar geronimo-j2ee-management_1.0_spec-1.1.jar httpunit-1.6.jar jasper-compiler-5.5.9.jar jasper-runtime-5.5.9.jar junit-3.8.2.jar mx4j-3.0.2.jar mx4j-remote-3.0.2.jar nekohtml-1.9.6.jar org.mortbay.jetty-5.1.9.jar servlet-api-2.4.jar I can guess the right JARs to use for everything but "cactus.jar". Can someone please explain what JARs are needed for Cactus now, and where they should go?
