Ted, 1) How do you implement the Action Adapter? Derived from Action and make it composite a substential Action Adaptee object which know nothing about web stuff? If this is the case, I want to know what the Action Adaptee's execute() return? Actually, I want to know if or not the Action Adaptee get knowledge of forwarding. Thanks.
2) I think I like the WebTest. Before use it, I still want to get some opinion from you about how do you compare WebTest and HttpTest.
