Description

We're using Weblogic 8.1 and in development we deploy the application as an exploded Ear to allow hot deployment of JSPs and a quick turn around.

Because the developers are used to such quick turn arounds time it makes it very hard to convince them to build a full Eay, cactify it and then delpoy as it adds an extra couple of minutes to each build cycle. Which means that they ignore the UnitTests.

It would be really useful if the CactifyEar task could be configured so that it could cactify an exploded appllication.
I think this will just involved
1) creating the Cactus war in the appropriate place
2) adding a module for the cactus war in the application xml of the exploded Ear
