Rene Gielen commented on WW-3711:
---------------------------------
Don't get me wrong, I see integration testing as highly desirable.
Having Spring support in Struts tests is in the domain of the Spring plugin.
Spring is a core glue framework below your S2 app, so for real integration
testing you want to use it in your tests as well.
Your persistence choice is something different IMO - it exceeds the domain of
both S2 and S2-Spring plugin. If we started to include more specific utilities
like the one you're suggesting, we would end up having to offer any permutation
of technologies around - StrutsSpringHibernate, StrutsSpringJPA,
StrutsSpringMyBatis, StrutsGuiceHibernate, ..., StrutsCDIHibernate, ... etc.
So again, while I see this is a really useful utility to you and maybe others,
I think it is beyond the scope of what Struts 2 would want to provide out of
the box. So I don't think we would want to include it into the S2 distribution.

> Key: WW-3711
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-3711
> Project: Struts 2
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Unit Tests
> Affects Versions: 2.2.3.1
> Reporter: Miguel Almeida
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: spring, struts2, test-patch
> Fix For: 2.5
>
> Attachments: StrutsSpringTransactionalAbstractTest.java
>
>
> From the mailing list thread:
> I'm using StrutsSpringTestCase for some under-the-skin tests.
> However, I felt the need to set up my database for a test. My tests that need
> the database extend from AbstractTransactionalJUnit4SpringContextTests, which
> makes them transactional.
> I therefore created a StrutsSpringTransactionalTestCase that merges the
> behaviour of both StrutsSpringTestCase and
> AbstractTransactionalJUnit4SpringContextTests. I currently just copy-pasted
> the relevant information from AbstractTransactionalJUnit4SpringContextTests.
> I'd like you to take a look at it and comment on whether it makes sense to
> include this in Struts. If so, feel free to use my contribution.
