#53 Not preserving struts forward attribute values

[Anonymous]

Setup:
Have a forward like this:
<action path="/Test" forward="/Test.do?
testkey1=value1&amp;testkey2=value2"
roles="anyone" />

Code snippet:

setRequestPathInfo("/Test.do");
actionPerform();
System.out.println(this.getActualForward());
setRequestPathInfo(getActualForward());
actionPerform();
HttpServletRequestSimulator req =
getMockRequest();
System.out.println(req.getAttribute("testkey1"));

In the line, setRequestPathInfo(getActualForward()) the
attributes on the forward line get truncated.
Common.stripActionForward is where the stripping is
happening.

A portion of the output from running the above code is:

[03-24 09:28]DEBUG <struts.MockStrutsTestCase> -
Exiting getActualForward()
[03-24 09:28]DEBUG <struts.MockStrutsTestCase> -

Fixing this bug is very difficult with the current Struts
(1.1) RequestProcessor architecture. The Struts team is
working on making this more flexible, which will allow me to
re-architect StrutsTestCase to be more robust.

There is no time frame for this work.
