I use a testing framework which can only handle junit. I also want to run the test in multiple browsers, on such way. Can somebody confirm if it's possible? and how I do that? I really appreciate that! ~~ Roy Hi,

You will have to make this change forward to other steps too. Thanks, Binil Wendy,

Our solution is to uses the exec plug in to stop Tomcat, drop and recreate an empty database (or import a backup file with the db we want to test with) then restart tomcat. Because Hudson runs as a tomcat app - which captures the output log files BTW to answer Ramu's question in comment 34 - I'm looking at cargo as a way to just stop our app, and not tomcat. Currently our set up works ok as command line or from eclipse, but the point where tomcat is stopped kills Hudson which kills Maven. One solution is to have a second instance of Tomcat running on different ports to handle Hudson, but I was wondering what was required in Maven to stop and restart one Tomcat application. Help such as pointing to a link with this info would be very appreciated. Hi,

This is very important when we want to automate the tests and run attended? Basically, the question is, is there a plug-in feature which automatically log stdout and stderr to a log file configured in the plug-in section?

One thing you might have to investigate is the heap size of the Maven JVM - check if the VM is thrashing memory (set MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx.. to control the heap size).

My test runs great with a SeleniumServer command line, but speed degrades quite quickly if I start the server per your method above.
