I found 3 or 4 cave spider spawners in close proximity. I built a rather simple kill chamber but I still get bit too easily with my design. So off to the net I went in search of a better design and I found one that looks great but it seems to rely on using a splash potion to perform the one hit kill. From my limited testing, it does not seem like potions affect the spiders. Was this added in 1.2? If not, I guess I will have a great string generator
You could incorporate the cactus ones and then just whack em. They'll die within the alloted time for a "player kill" and you still get the XP, But I haven't tried it since XP came out and I could see the cactus breaking easily as you're swatting at the spiders.

potions work but you have to make sure you throw it at them directly on them so they get the maximum effect.
Thanks for the feedback. I'll try the damage potion tonight. I was using a poison potion which didn't work. I did adjust the kill box so that I am able to stand directly in front of the kill box and not get bit by the spiders.

Damage Potioin II can be made like this: Filled Flask + Netherwart = Awkward Potion + Spiders Eye = Potion of Poison + Fermented Spiders Eye (Spiders Eye + Suger + Brown Mushroom) = Damage Potion + Glowstone = Damage Potion II + Gunpowder = Splash Potion fo Damage II.
