Question

I am using the below piece of code for JUnit test of my Spring maven application

private static BeanFactory servicefactory = null;
private static BookingProcessService bookingProcessService;
@BeforeClass
public static void setUpBeforeClass() throws Exception{
    try{
        String[] configFiles = {"applicationcontext-Service.xml","applicationcontext-Hibernate.xml","applicationContext-dao.xml"};
        ClassPathXmlApplicationContext appContext = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(configFiles);
        servicefactory = (BeanFactory) appContext;
        bookingProcessService = (BookingProcessService) servicefactory.getBean("bookingProcessService");            
    }catch (Exception e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

While building my project using maven, I am getting some errors.The bean named bookingProcessBusiness is not creating may be because the spring configuartion files are not properly loaded.

Can somebody please help me?

Answer 1

1. Please provide exact exception you are getting

2. Yes, the exception that you are swallowing instead of throwing further and letting JUnit know something is wrong. Don’t do this:

   }catch (Exception e){
     e.printStackTrace();
   }
   

3. Why won’t you use built-in Spring support for integration testing?

   @RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
   @ContextConfiguration(locations={"applicationcontext-Service.xml","applicationcontext-Hibernate.xml","applicationContext-dao.xml"})
   public class BookingProcessServiceTest {
   
       @Autowired
       private BookingProcessService bookingProcessService;
   
   }
   

   No glue code, no statics.
