My J2EE book suggests using JUnitEE over Cactus, claiming that setting
up Cactus test cases is so complex that it eliminates the scheduling
benefits gained from strict testing. I was planning to use Maven to
automate my build, but it appears that there is no JUnitEE plug-in for
Maven. Moreover, I am using MyEclipse, and it appears that the Cactus
plug-in for MyEclipse has been broken for over a year.
Any suggestions as to the path I should take?

Wham each web page flat with the 16 ton weight of HttpUnit.
Use this slow, draconian approach while you outsource research into how to
configure Cactus. I tried once, and got mired in an endless vicious cycle of
mis-configurations.
Then switch to Ruby on Rails. By any means necessary.

What is the Ruby equivalent of an EJB, and how does Ruby facilitate
performing unit tests for it?

I dunno. I'm just indirectly reporting rumors that folks experienced a 10x
productivity boost switching directly from EJB to RoR. That's not an
exaggeration; it's an indictment of Java's incredibly poor flexibility.
