What Struts version are you using? Could you give a try to the nightly version [1] and tell me if it works as you expect? Be aware that you can write your test as follow:
public void testValidationRequired() throws Exception { request.setParameter("user.roles", ""); executeAction("/your_package/your_action.action"); // asserts to check errors etc...... } } [1] https://builds.apache.org/job/Struts2/lastStableBuild/org.apache.struts$struts2-assembly/ Maurizio Cucchiara On 21 September 2011 17:31, Carl Ballantyne <carlballant...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi All, > > I have an action that I am trying to unit test.
