Setting request body in controller testing with Stripes

Question

I'm creating an ActionBean that takes a request that contains an XML message. Is there a way for me to simulate this operation using the mocking framework included in Stripes?

Answer 1

I just realized I could probably just mock it from a custom ActionBeanContext method while the actual application context implementation will access the request object directly.

Answer 2

While the Stripes mock framework does a good job, I often find it cleaner to just unit test the action bean as if it were just a POJO. For more complex test I use Mockito (or EasyMock).
