Struts 1: Action to DispatchAction

In order to convert Action to DispatchAction, change the action name from 'execute' to 'unspecified' and add a 'parameter="something"' attribute to action node in struts.xml.

Mockito matchers

Configuration: Mockito 1.5, TestNG 5.8 jdk15, maven-surefire 2.4.2
Don't use mockito matchers (anyInt, anyString, ...) to 'mock' arguments for non-mocked/stubbed method calls. Using matchers this way can cause unpredictable test failures, as the state of matchers is being tracked statically (simpliest explanation I could come up with without digging into source). You might get an InvalidUseOfMatchersException in a test case different to the one matchers were used in.

LDAP and user rights

If, for some reason, you don't see what you definitely should (such as the 'memberOf' attributes) - check the rights of the account you're connected to LDAP with. Lost half of the day trying to figure out why nothing works after LDAP has migrated to another server.

Refcards

I frequently see requests for refcards - here are THE two resources to explore if you need one:
Digilife, Refcardz (some cards require registration @ DZone).
