RE: [Springframework-developer] Documenting Web Framework Integration Options

I hadn't heard of MockStrutsTestCase before.  After some digging, I
think it would work with the CactusStrutsTestCase, but may take a bit of
subclassing to make it work with the MockStrutsTestCase. =20

For the MockStutsTestCase to work, I think there would need to be a
subclass (SpringMockStrutsTestCase) that would create the parent
WebApplicationContext in setup before the ContextLoaderPlugin is
initialized (by super.setup()).  This could be similar to the
BaseSpringTestCases where there is an abstract getConfigLocations method
that would be used to build the parent context...then throw it into the
ServletContext where the ContextLoaderPlugin will pick it up.

This looks like a *very* useful addition.  It's similar to WebWork's=20
ActionAutowiringInterceptor and definitely makes configuration easier=20
(a good thing IMO).  My only question is whether it works in=20
conjunction with MockStrutsTestCase so your actions will be auto-wired=20
when testing.  +1 for adding it to Spring.
