Description

Cactus cannot be run on JBoss (3.2.1), because of the HttpClient library.
Cause :
JBoss has an older version of HttpClient in its classpath, see
http://archives.real-time.com/pipermail/cactus-user/2003-January/002123.
or, of course, your jboss/lib directory!

This problem is not in itself a Cactus problem (IMHO it's 100% JBoss' fault),
however it would be nice to be able to use Cactus & Jboss together.

I have 2 comments :
1- Maybe it would be possible to use an older HttpClient library with Cactus.
2- I'm only using a servlet to test an EJB. Why on earth do I need HttpClient to
do that????????? I understand the need for HttpClient when Cactus is running as
an Ant task, but in my case I really do not understand why it is used.
Could it be possible to remove the need for HttpClient, if we're just testing an
EJB from within the servlet container itself??
