hi,

i am using struts v2.1.8.1 + spring 3.0 + junit 4.0. it should be
noted that i am using convention plugin for spring.

my action class extends ActionSupport and implements
ServletRequestAware and ServletResponseAware. the method i am testing
inside my action class never returns a string literal (i.e. succes,
error, input, etc...), and always returns null. the reason is that i
am not forwarding users to any JSP page, but instead, i am writing
JSON results back out to the response stream.

i need to test my action class, and i have a test class that extends
StrutsSpringTestCase. i followed the example at
http://struts.apache.org/2.1.8.1/docs/struts-2-junit-plugin-tutorial.html,
which was very helpful. however, when my code writes JSON back out
using ServletOutputStream, i get a NullPointerException. The
NullPointerException happens because the HttpServletResponse is null.
(i.e. null pointer happens on ServletOutputStream os =
getHttpServletResponse().getOutputStream()).

is there a step i am missing here that explains why the
HttpServletResponse object/field is null?

is there anyway to test action classes that do not return the usual
string literals but the contents of the output stream?

thank you in advance.
