I think doing a separate test webapp is better (using the directory
<root>/src/test, which is prepared for that)

I prefer a separate test web app with a separate web.xml file located in
<root>/conf/test.

Note: I think we should post this kind of messages to the struts-dev mailing
list so that others know what we are doing, may voice their opinion (like a
separate web app or a single one) and participate. I have put the struts-dev
mailing list in copy of this mail.

Looks good so far !
