Question

For some unit tests I’m dropping and recreating the entire database schema after each test. Its not perfect but it works. However when I upgraded from Spring 3.0.6 to 3.1.0.RC2 to get support for Hibernate 4, the methods I was using got deleted.

Old code:

@BeforeMethod
public void setupSchema() {
    LocalSessionFactoryBean session = (LocalSessionFactoryBean) context.getBean("&sessionFactory");
    session.dropDatabaseSchema();
    session.createDatabaseSchema();
}

what am I supposed to use instead to recreate the database schema in 3.1.0.RC2?

EDIT: Note that this is for the hibernate4 LocalSessionFactoryBean, not the hibernate3 one

Answer 1

For those interested, fixed this problem today. Essentially just use SchemaExport

@BeforeMethod
public void setupSchema() {
    LocalSessionFactoryBean session = (LocalSessionFactoryBean) context.getBean("&sessionFactory");
    SchemaExport export = new SchemaExport(session.getConfiguration());
    export.drop(false, true);
    export.create(false, true);
}

Hope this helps someone
