Actually, the solution is pretty simple here: copy/paste. All the logic is in a TestCaseHelper or whatever class that is in core. We move the StrutsTestCase, only a few lines of code, into our src/test/java directory then create a new struts2-junit-plugin (or whatever) jar and copy the code in th

I will tell you this, I hate overt marketing. When I go to the Movies and they start playing commercials, not previews, I'll close my eyes, put my fingers in my ears or walk out to take a break. My wife laughs at me since her background is Marketing Research and says it doesn't bother her. S

Hello everybody, I tend to agree with James, ASF is a non-profit organization and no advertisement platform for corporations, even if they want to contribute, others do so and don't ask for anything in return. In the how-to-help-FAQ [1] on the homepage is a separate paragraph which states how corp

The closer award I looked after was, imho, the best way my company could give back to the S2 project. By awarding it to the person who closed the most JIRA issues it meant that the work wasn't "tainted" by my companies agenda, it provided a tangible reward to those willing to work hard on the p

No fix as yet that I'm aware of. I've been busy on the app port (my day job), and waiting for the dojo discussion to settle down as to whether it's worth updating the s2 tags, or dump the s2 tags entirely and say "Go pick what you want" to the masses. Al. - Original Message - From: "

Agreed on excellent value. It is a tremendous help for wizard type actions. Is it mature enough though? I don't think scope interceptor looks at annotations in a super class. I tried to consolidate similar functionality into a super class. After I was finished the annotations in the super cla

No objections from me. The latter two or three don't have to be plugins, just build artefacts. I hate that junit circular dependency. I wish there was a better way. There's several base test classes that would be useful to users if they were available in a struts-test jar. Don Brown wrote
