Unit Testing Struts 2 Action
Hi All, I am putting together Struts 2, Hibernate Sitemesh. Where can I find information on how to unit test my new application actions? Thanks, Doug
Re: Unit Testing Struts 2 Action
One of the things I really like about Struts 2 is how easy it is to unit test actions. Using the proper mechanisms for injecting what you need, unit testing the action should be as simple as instantiating the action, set the appropriate dependencies, and then execute it.

Unit testing Struts 2 systems in multiple projects
We are doing web development using Struts 2, building using Maven. Our system is made up of two projects: a war project and a core project. The war project contains all web resources, jsps, etc. The core project contains all of our struts actions, service layer and data access layer. We split our system up like this because of the Maven restriction on generating one artifact per project. The problem is that this makes automated testing difficult. The web project contains the struts.xml file that defines all of our actions but the action source code is in the core project. How can we set things up so that the test code can pick up the struts.xml file from the web project while testing the code in the core project? I have been thinking about putting the tests in the web project, but this means that the test code is in a different project from the code that is being tested, which is not ideal. The other alternative is to have separate struts.xml files for testing and deployment, which is also not ideal. How have other people handled this?

Ordinarily I would agree with you, but we have a constraint that I forgot to mention: our actions have to be usable in more than one web project. The system we are building is deployed to more than one customer. We customise the web project by overlaying customer-specific files in separate projects. I was thinking that another approach to this might be to keep all actions in the core project, along with the struts.xml file, then package these into a jar file. This page: http://struts.apache.org/2.0.11.2/docs/can-we-break-up-a-large-strutsxml -file-into-smaller-pieces.html says that this is possible, but doesn't give any details. Does anyone have any more details on getting this to work? Cheers Peter ___ The information contained in this e-mail is confidential and may be privileged. It is intended for the addressee only.

Re: Unit Testing Struts 2
Not in particular. Basically, they all more or less do the same (although sometime with different approaches to mocking): Set up the action context, create a mock invocation and invoke intercept on the interceptor with the mock invocation. I think this is the smallest and simplest interceptor test: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/struts/struts2/trunk/core/src/test/java/org/apache/struts2/interceptor/ClearSessionInterceptorTest.java Nils-H On Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 7:48 AM, Mark [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I had a look at a few in the 2.0.11.1 source tree.

Unit Testing Struts 2 Actions
I've spent a lot of time in the debugger over the last few days trying to figure out how to unit test struts 2 actions with the Interceptor stack so that validation and results configuration etc. were also tested. I wrote a unit test helper class and posted it and a description here Unit Testing Struts 2 Actions [1] hopefully others will find this helpful.

[S2][ANN] Unit Testing Struts 2 Actions wired with Spring using JUnit article
[arenselist] Hopefully this entry serves as some search engine friendly documentation on how one might unit test Struts 2 actions configured using Spring, something I would think many, many people want to do. This used to be done using StrutsTestCase in the Struts 1.x days but Webwork/Struts provides enough flexibility in its architecture to accommodate unit testing fairly easily.
