public abstract class SpringUnitTest
extends AbstractDependencyInjectionSpringContextTests

Extends Spring's test framework to support data-driven tests. Data-driven tests separate data values from test logic, keeping data values in external files and test logic in Java code. Every descendent of SpringUnitTest is required by convention to have a bean called Classname of type SpringUnitContext, where Classname is the simple name of the subclass of SpringUnitTest. Note that the simple names of subclasses must be unique, that is, they must not be distinguished solely by different package qualifiers.

Constructor Detail

SpringUnitTest

protected SpringUnitTest()

Default constructor.

SpringUnitTest

protected SpringUnitTest(String fName)

Constructor with JUnit name. Sets AutowireMode to "by name" (overriding the default, which is "by type"). Creates a context contexts that stores the hierarchy of test contexts.

Parameters:

fName - Name of JUnit test

Method Detail

getConfigLocations

protected final String[] getConfigLocations()

Return list of file names that the Spring test framework uses in order to create beans for testing.

Overrides:

getConfigLocations in class AbstractSingleSpringContextTests

Returns:

Array of string filenames

getObject

protected final <T> T getObject(String key)
                     throws Exception

Search for object identified by key in the hierarchy of contexts.

Parameters:

key - Identifier of data value to find

Returns:

Object if found or null

Throws:

Exception - if errors occur when using reflection to access the SpringUnitContext for any class in the list
