Also for unit testing actions out-of-container, take a look at
StrutsTestCase : http://strutstestcase.sourceforge.net/.
One approach that is also commendable for unit testing - regardless of
servlet framework used - is to keep as much code as possible out of
container-dependent objects. For instance, if you can have a Struts Action
class delegate work to a regular java object with non-container parameters
passed, rather than doing that work in the action itself, than the code
that does the work can be more easily tested with vanilla Junit.
For in-container testing, which we have used a lot for acceptance tests as
opposed to unit tests, Cactus as recommended by Jim comes up a lot. We use
HttpUnit: http://httpunit.sourceforge.net/. We also ended up wrapping
HttpUnit with a somewhat simpler API that is on sourceforge as well:
http://jwebunit.sourceforge.net/.

Please respond to
"Struts Users
Mailing List"
Cactus works great with Struts. Just go to there web page
http://jakarta.apache.org/cactus/index.html and check out the documentation
& examples. Join their user list, check the archives and if you still have
questions ask the Cactus user group. You will also need to know all about
JUnit - http://junit.org/index.htm
