Question

I have a service that implements InitializingBean and DisposableBean

class MyService implements InitializingBean, DisposableBean {

    static transactional = false

    def grailsApplication

    @Override
    void afterPropertiesSet() {
        System.setProperty("JMS_TIMEOUT", grailsApplication.config.JMS_TIMEOUT);
        // code performing a JDNI lookup
    }
}
enter code here

The system properties are used to initialize some other components in the service. I have added the configs in Config.groovy.

grails.config.locations = [ "file:${basedir}/grails-app/conf/myconfig.properties" ]

This works fine when running the application. However I’m writing an integration test in test/integration that injects the service.

class MyServiceIntegrationTests  extends GrailsUnitTestCase {

   def myService

   void testMyService() {

   }
}

When running the test I get a StackTrace with the folllowing root cause:

Caused by: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Name [ConnectionFactory] not bound; 0 bindings: []
at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:354)
at com.ubs.ecredit.common.jmsclient.DefaultConnector.<init>(DefaultConnector.java:36)

Seems that the Config could not be loaded or are different in the Integration Tests. Any idea how I can change the config or code, so that these properties are also set for my integration test, before the service is instantiated?

UPDATE:
It turned out the cause was not the configurations but a JDNI lookup and a bug in Grails.
See: http://jira.grails.org/browse/GRAILS-5726

Answer 1

It turned out the cause was a JNDI lookup used by a library method, I have not shown in afterPropertiesSet() in my Service, which can be seen in the StackTrace.

After doing some research I found that this was a bug in Grails: http://jira.grails.org/browse/GRAILS-5726

Adding the mentioned workaround, resolved the issue for now.
