Who is using Cactus
We would really like to get a feeling on who is using Cactus. Please post your experience here.
We (![[WWW]](/wiki/modern/img/moin-www.png){kind=small}
Xplan) are using Cactus for testing our application. Thanks to everyone that has worked hard on this project so that others will benefit.
We ( NeoGrid) are using Cactus for testing our application. Thanks to everyone that has worked hard on this project so that others will benefit.
Architecture consulting company Octo Technology is using Cactus on several J2EE projects. We are also doing continuous integration (we call it Agile Delivery) every few hours and have included Cactus tests as part of the automated builds. --VincentMassol, 2002
I'm not using Cactus, per se, but I am using the Ant tasks that come with it, to solve certain problems mentioned in WebLogicGripes. When I get around to actually have a Web interface to test, I'll be using Cactus for that. -- RobertWatkins.
We're playing around with Cactus to do whitebox testing of parts of the ArsDigitaCommunitySystem. We have it running and we're able to regression test some of the things we had difficulty in doing before, but, due to the complex setup (dependence on a servlet container, mostly), we haven't been able to easily integrate it into our daily build system (we run builds daily, and regression test each build). -- RichardLi
My project, a 15 programmer effort, uses Cactus for EJB testing and we will soon be using it for tag and JSP support testing. In addition to the typical programmer driven 'unit tests' the goal is to have the QA group (another 10 people) add ALL regression tests into either the Cactus tests or the class level tests (regular JUnit tests). I can't say enough good things about our use of Cactus.

Are you using it with EAServer?
We do in XpChile (now ElcodLtda). Even sent a small patch accepted in the main code.
We are using cactus to test EJB.But we have few questions. 1. Can we use it to test CMP? 2. Is there a good tutorial to exhibit usage of cactus for testing entity beans? -Ash
We (Thrivent Financial for Lutherans) are in the process of getting cactus working to test our Web Application Development Framework services.. Security, Caching, Persistence. We are using WAS 5, so I'm trying to create the start/stopserver tasks working. Anyone have cactus working on WAS 5 and want to share? -Arlie Norwood
We make Agility Issue and Bug Tracking Software we use Cactus to test our server side code. Most importantly our Filters and TagLibs. Thank you Cactus!
We just started using Cactus. Well, really *I* just started using Cactus with WebLogic 6.1 on Windows XP. I inherited a rather large forms-processing framework and associated tag library (think Struts) which I want to learn about and test. As I go through each class, I write unit tests to try and learn how it works. I've also used Cactus for testing custom tags, especially while refactoring them to make sure the HTML they spit out is identical before and after the refactoring.
When a bug was found in a "login" module that required HTTP/servlet request/response, I turned to Cactus. I coded a unit test to test the module, and discovered that in fact it was a configuration error and not a coding error.
Other than the Cactus-provided servlet request/response/session objects, I am not using other mock objects per se; but in some circumstances I am testing my own abstract (servlet-based) classes using local implementations of those classes. --DavidPlass
We ( RootMode) are using Cactus for testing our first jsp based application (and looking to use in future web projects). Thanks to everyone that has worked hard on this project so that others will benefit.
We at IdaInfront uses Cactus for our product suite iipax. We mainly use it for integration testing of our EJB based business layer. We started out using JunitEE but changed to cactus to be able to call local EJB:s from our test code (this became a problem when porting our product to Oracle application server). Our Cactus tests is not yet part of our countinous integration builds but will be soon. --MagnusGrimsell
Hi, I am a hobby programmer and use Cactus to test Servlets and think it's very usefull. Thank you!
The JSFUnit project is partially based on Cactus. I've found that in-container is the best way to test JSF applications, so I started a new open source project at JBoss Labs that builds on some of the ideas (and code) in Cactus.
JSFUnit is an integration test framework for JSF applications. It is designed to allow complete integration testing and debugging of JSF applications at the JSF level. JSFUnit tests run inside the container, which provides the developer full access to managed beans, the FacesContext, and the internal JSF component tree. At the same time, you also have access to the HTML output of each client request. --StanSilvert
The Mobicents(part of the JBoss division in RedHat) platform uses Cactus for it's in-container tests.
As a group of students at Vienna University of Technology we are using Apache Cactus to whitebox-test our EJB3 business logic using an in-container testing strategy. Our project is to build a tiny webbased ERP system using Glassfish, EJB3, JSF and Netbeans for the Advanced Software Engineering course offered at our university. Johannes, Mai 2008
