The CONFIG_LOCATIONS variable is used to initialize spring only. I don't
use spring-orm, so I can't comment on how to tell BaseStrutsTestCase to
include that particular filter (or any other filter for that matter).

Most probably a limitation.

I think you're over-stepping the bounds of unit testing here. In any case,
I have created multiple invocations of the same action in the same test
method without any problems. E.g.,
createAction(SomeAction.class, "/namespace", "actionName");
//... set some parameters
assertEquals(SUCCESS, proxy.execute());
//create action again
createAction(SomeAction.class, "/namespace", "actionName");
//... set some *different* parameters so that we expect INPUT to be
// returned
assertEquals(INPUT, proxy.execute());
There's nothing to prevent you from recreating another Action all
together. You just have to remember that every time you execute
createAction, it creates a new mock request and mock response, so you have
to populate things properly.

In your code below, where you say // and then execute proxy again, are you
missing some stepls where you need to supply some parameters to the
action?

Smells like functional testing to me.
