Description

I found workaround that it's possible to "integrate" JUnit 4.4 with Cactus 1.7.2.
Here is the example how do I do:
public class CactusTestRunner extends ServletTestCase
{
public static Test suite()

{ ServletTestSuite suite = new ServletTestSuite("ahojO"); suite.addTest (new JUnit4TestAdapter (xxx.class)); }

}
– creates JUnit 3.8 compatible tests from JUnit 4.4 classes....

I have to do change in the Cactus method: JUnitVersionHelper.getTestCaseName() to enable to write TestCase names to the output file
else if (theTest.getClass().getSimpleName().equals ("JUnit4TestCaseFacade"))
{
try

{ Class cl = Class.forName (theTest.getClass().getName ()); Method me = cl.getMethod ("getDescription"); Object desc = me.invoke (theTest); Class clDesc = Class.forName (desc.getClass().getName()); Method meDesc = clDesc.getMethod ("getDisplayName"); name = (String) meDesc.invoke (desc); }

catch (Throwable e)

{ name = "unknown"; }

}

The bad is that you have to have both JUnit 3.8 and JUnit 4.4 archive in testing application. There could be problems with class loader but haven't got any. So I believe that Cactus developers could use my workaround to fastly increase of JUnit dependency to JUnit 4.x.
