    Hi,

    I am using MockStrutsTest (of StrutsTest2.0.jar).

    My test class works perfect when executed thru a ANT script : <junittask task/target

    But the same class in eclipse gives a NullPointerException in MockStrutsTestCase.getActionServlet()

    I know I am missing something in my configuartion but what. The stack trace is:

      Problem SOLVED.

      I think the documentation should highlight
      "For MockStrutsTest to work at runtime it should be able to find the applications struts-config.xml which is in the WEB-INF folder.

      So the folder containing the WEB-INF/ folder should be in the classpath."

      I discovered this by adding the source code of MockStrutsCase to my project and going thru line by line.

      g1

      Hi there
      You can also specify the location of the struts-config.xml file using:

      setConfigFile("enter the path/file name here");

      You can call that method inside your setUp method:

      public void setup()
      {
            super.setUp();
            setConfigFile("c:/myapp/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml")
      }

      Hope it helps,

      Leo.
