If you mean "where is the initialisation of simpleMap e.g. simpleMap=new
java.util.HashMap();" - it's not there. I don't think you need to,
Struts initializes it. (see below)

No. The test fails below, not here. executeProxy executed the action and
initialized the map. If you run the test you'll see it fails on the last
assertEquals, not here.

This is where it is failing. Not because it hasn't been initialized, but
because it doesn't have that key.
