I agree with that first part, however, I find the unit test point interesting (not sure if amusing is the better word or not)... Since Actions are supposed to contain no actual functionality and just serve as basically an interface between two layers, why would they ever really require unit testing? I mean, ideally all Actions should be a couple of lines of code, moving data from one object (ActionForm) to another (ValueObject) and handing that off to some business delegate. If we agree that's the ideal, does it really ultimately matter if it is abstracted away from the servlet API and therefore easier to unit test? (I did say I agree with getting away from the servlet API, but only out of a sense of simplifying the method signature). -- Frank W.
