Question

I want to test my Dao Class using the SpringContextTests.
In my method class I extended the AbstractTransactionalJUnit4SpringContextTests in order for my test class to integrate with JUnit4. I have also set up the configurations and made the initialization and database clean up in the @Before and tearDown in the @After. My test class works perfectly.

My problem was, when I run my test class and the database is filled with data, the original data was not rolled back and my database is cleared. In the @Before method, I clear the database and populate data, thinking that I will be able to rollback it but its not.

Can anyone site an example that works and rollbacks information in the database.

ADDONS:
Every database manipulation in my test methods are rolled back. But the execution of super.deleteFromTables("person") in the @Before method did not rollback all the previous data from the database.

Spring rollbacks all the CRUD operations but the database clean up before the transaction do not rollback.

Answer 1

Thank you to all those who answered my question. I learned a lot from those answers but it didn’t solve my problem.
I knew my test data does a transaction management and it does its job properly.
The mistake is on my part.

I forgot the lesson about database commands that when you execute a DDL statement after a DML statement, it will automatically commit the transaction. I executed a DDL after a DML by deleting all record and then ALTER the AUTO_INCREMENT of the table where in it will cause an auto-commit and delete all records of the table permanently.

FIXING THAT SCENARIO SOLVED MY PROBLEM.
