Hi Miguel, I haven't used the StrutsSpringTestCase however I have made use of the StrutsTestCase.
This only tests the interceptor stack / Action / Result. There is no web server involved and no attempt to render the resulting page. Therefore I would be surprised if anything from web.xml is called. You could try looking at Apache Cactus or Apache HttpClient to test this behaviour? Alternatively if you generate the file within Struts then the StrutsTestCase will suffice. I've generated exports from Struts this way.

Dear all, I am using StrutsSpringTestCase (which extends StrutsTestCase) to perform some acceptance tests (under the skin). I am also using Displaytag (www.displaytag.org/1.2/ ) to build some tables in the view. This tag supports excel/pdf export, which uses a filter you configure in web.xml [1] The way the filter works is, in short: a (odd looking, numerical) parameter is added to the request. The filter checks for the existence of that parameter and, if it exists, creates the pdf/excel. I want to test the creation of this file (and its contents). However, when I debug the StrutsSpringTestCase test with a breakpoint on that filter it does not stop there, so my questions are: 1) Does the StrutsTestCase not pass through other filters in your web.xml, and only goes through the struts filter? 2) If so, is there anything else in the struts tests that could help me out? How do you suggest I perform this test? Thank you, Miguel Almeida [1]- see http://www.displaytag.org/1.2/export_filter.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@struts.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@struts.apache.org
