missing cookie name

[Thorsten Frank]

hi all,

we're trying to test Struts actions with the StrutsTestCase package 
integrated into Cactus. All actions depend on a login, or more specific, 
parameters loaded after a successful login. our idea was to use a base 
class which stores a FormAuthentication object for all the test cases. We 
are using Websphere 5.0, struts 1.1, J2EE spec 1.3

Our problems seem to be similar to the one described in a previous mail of 
this list (no 04940):

when trying the tests depicted further below, we get the following error 
messages:

org.apache.cactus.util.ChainedRuntimeException: Failed to authenticate the

we are using a base test case, which is a subclass of 
servletunit.struts.CactusStrutsTestCase, which doesn't do much:

public class BaseStrutsTestCase extends CactusStrutsTestCase {

    private FormAuthentication formAuthentication;

    public void begin(WebRequest request) {
        if(formAuthentication == null) {
            formAuthentication = new FormAuthentication("ue05515", "nwm");
        }
        request.setRedirectorName("ServletRedirectorSecure");
        request.setAuthentication(formAuthentication);
    }
}
The actual test case looks like this:

public class RevisionenVerwaltenInitTest extends BaseStrutsTestCase {

    public void testSomeAction() {
        setRequestPathInfo("/test/testAction");
        actionPerform();
        verifyForward("success");
        ....
    }
}
All entries in the web.xml file are identical to the ones described in the 
cactus documentation.

Thanks in advance for any help...

kind regards,

thorsten frank
