the idea with embedded tomcat is to load up the server side requirement of the testcase within the testsuite environment, Otherwise the serverside portion is always needed and the test cases wouldn't successfully run as part of running the test suite. Also, in this case cactus will not apply, since cactus is for running the test case on the server. In this case the test case runs on the client side (simulating the browser performing an SSO session)....embedded tomcat needs to provide the serverside environment needed to run the test cases Thanks View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4079723#...
