Subject: Cactus and Testing Struts Action Classes


This is for anybody using Cactus to test Struts-based applications.  I have
a question concerning the testing of a Struts Action class through the
<perform> method.  In the definition of an ActionMapping, a section of code
would look like this:

ActionMapping t_actionMapping = actionServlet.findMapping("/somepage.jsp");

How do I configure the ServletRedirector in the web.xml file in order for
the findMapping method call to successfully resolve somepage.jsp?

--> In short, you just send the ServletRedirector an init parameter named
config that points to your struts-config.xml.  This looks the same as how
you init the struts action class as well.  See my web.xml snip below for an
example.

Hope that helps,
Ryan
