Thank you for your reply, I will start reading those chapters and the presentation, I think it should be fairly simple to understand since I'm already familiar with the concepts.
I think, now there's a new and better way to write JSPs using JSTL tags or custom tags. Perhaps, Cactus tests could be written with custom tags instead of directly having scriptlets in JSPs. I also need to figure out how to remove the test part of the code inside a JSP - I guess having it in an include file might help. But I will read about this and gain a better understanding rather than guessing it. -Regards Rashmi ----- Original Message ---- From: Steve Loughran <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Ant Users List <user@ant.apache.org> Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2007 5:12:31 AM Subject: Re: How to compile jsp files with ANT nobody can keep in their head everything "needed" these days, or at least the things everyone says they need. I can't do complex XPath or XSL, havent done any AJAX stuff, and updating the book for EJB3/JavaEE 5 showed me a whole world that I'd been avoiding. so yes, pick the chapters you think are relevant. ch12: web+httpunit, ch14, EJB+Cactus. Cactus is interesting as it runs normal unit tests inside the app server, sending back the results. which is good for testing, but not always for debugging. Quite often I create a set of JSP pages with inline <% java code %> to test different things; each page is a test. Then I can not only run cactus at it, I can point my browser at it and see the stack trace. see also the presentations on testing under http://people.apache.org/~stevel/slides/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ____________________________________________________________________________________ Want to start your own business?
