For this case (testing the pdf output created by the displaytag) I don't think it'll be worth it to invest in a new testing setup: this is the only thing that is produced outside the scope of struts and a manual inspection might suffice. However, I do want to explore other tools that are available to test the http request/response, so I'll look into this further.
