make sure you have all the jars in your classpath to run MockStruts:
junit.jar
servlet.jar
struts.jar
commons-digester.jar
commons-collections.jar
commons-logging.jar
commons-beanutils.jar
jaxp.jar
crimson.jar
strutstest.jar

I dont' know which environment you are using - it might have its own jars like mine did, I had to actually use the ones that came with StrutsTest - in the test.war package.

and you also need a log4j.properites file in your web-inf

Hi
I have following jars in my test classpath.
strutstest-2.1.4.jar
j2ee.jar
struts.jar
junit-3.8.1.jar
commons-logging.jar
log4j-1.2.8.jar
commons-collection.jar
commons-digester.jar
commons-beanutils.jar

commons-logging.properties file contains the following entry

log4jConfigFileName=log4j/P1M_MRC_BPres_log4j.xml

Please let me know if there is anything wrong with the setup.

what dev env are you using?
make sure the .jars in your path are from StrutsTestCase download - from the .war file
are you able to run the examples that came with the download?
the log4j properties file should be in your Junit  TC classpath too
