Could you register an issue ? Looks like the problem is with PortletContext which it is not defined. To solve your problem override the method as below in the DefaultActionTest class:
@Override protected ActionProxy getActionProxy(String uri) { ActionProxy actionProxy = super.getActionProxy(uri); ActionContext.getContext().put(StrutsStatics.STRUTS_PORTLET_CONTEXT, new MockPortletContext()); return actionProxy; } Thanks in advance -- Łukasz + 48 606 323 122 http://www.lenart.org.pl/ Warszawa JUG conference - Confitura http://confitura.pl/ 2011/12/27 bphill...@ku.edu <bphill...@ku.edu>: > I'm upgrading a Struts 2 portlet application from 2.2.3.1 to 2.3.1.
