The need to use Cactus, StrutsTestCase, etc.. when testing Struts is due 
to the fact that Struts actions are contaminated by HttpServletRequest and 
HttpServletResponse.  This contamination makes Struts actions difficult to 
use outside of a servlet container.  You always have to do mock objects or 
have the container present.

This is totally unnecessary for WebWork.  :-)  Because of the 
exceptionally clean separation of Presentation vs. Business logic in 
WebWork you don't need an extra project to use it in an automated testing 
environment (or any other environment).  JUnit is the only thing you need 
to write fully automated tests for WebWork actions.
