Once again, you may be left with the option of hard-coding con-
nection information or reusing existing files for this purpose. Testing a
Struts application that uses Hibernate? Not a problem—just combine
the new DefaultDBUnitMockStrutsTestCase with its handy utility
for reading Hibernate files.
For example, Listing 6-24 is a class that implements a Default-
MerlinMockStrutsTestCase class, which combines the DbUnit capa-
bility of DefaultDBUnitMockStrutsTestCase with the handy Hibernate
reader utility defined previously in Listing 6-20.

The Combo Framework in Action

LISTING 6-24

public class ProjectListActionTest
extends DefaultMerlinMockStrutsTestCase {

public void testProjectListAction() throws Exception{
this.setRequestPathInfo("/viewProjects");
this.actionPerform();
this.verifyForward("success");

IProject[] projects = (IProject[])this.getRequest().
getAttribute("projects");
assertNotNull("object was null", projects);
}
