SessionAware documentation misleading about unit testing?
---------------------------------------------------------
Key: WW-2181
URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2181
Project: Struts 2
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Documentation
Affects Versions: 2.0.9
Reporter: Jim Cushing
The SessionAware JavaDocs state:
"Note that using this interface makes the Action tied to a servlet environment,
so it should be avoided if possible since things like unit testing will become
more difficult."
Unit testing with SessionAware is actually quite simple, compared to accessing
the session through ActionContext, and SessionAware makes the Action less bound
to a servlet environment than ServletRequestAware, another possible means of
accessing the session.
It could be argued that using sessions at all makes ties an Action to a servlet
environment, but this statement instead implies that users should find a
different means of getting at the session to improve unit testability. I
believe that's misleading.
