HTTP requests; however, this can be tedious work and doesn't offer
the desired precision for Struts architecture that heavily utilizes
Action classes and a configuration for mapping requests.
The StrutsTestCase project was created to address this issue. With
this framework you can easily isolate and test Struts' Action classes.
This project, however, requires a developer to extend a base class
which handles mocking of a servlet container. If a Struts application
requires the use of a database, you may be left in a quandary.
Via DbUnit's API, a combination framework can be created that
utilizes the seeding capabilities of DbUnit with the mocking capabili-
ties of the StrutsTestCase project (see Listing 6-23).
