Question

Tests work individually within Eclipse (right click, run as Junit), but when I run them from the command line with maven, it stops while trying to obtain a DataSource connection to the HSQL database.

LogicalConnectionImpl [DEBUG] Obtaining JDBC connection

The oddest part to me is that if I limit the tests being run to 10 (not classes, but individual @Test methods), it will work. But once that 11th test is run it bombs out. The test combinations do not matter, so if I have 30 tests, and I choose 11 or more to run, then it will fail. This made me think it is a DataSource connection max issue, but so far no luck with details of that. I have tried adding heap size just for giggles, but that did not work.

So prior to this hang, I have multiple successful JDBC connection and releases.

Here is my applicationContext-HSQL.xml, which is used for both the in Eclipse and Command Line versions. I know b/c I have forced each of them to fail by messing with the Class values below.

All of my Test classes utilize Spring 3.2.5, JPA, DBUnit and extend AbstractInMemoryTests.java

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(locations={"classpath:applicationContext-hsqldb.xml"})
public class AbstractInMemoryTests {

private static final String FLAT_XML_DATASET = "FlatXmlDataSet.xml";

@Autowired
BasicDataSource bds;

@Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
    DatabaseOperation.CLEAN_INSERT.execute(getConnection(), getDataSet());
}

@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
private IDataSet getDataSet() throws Exception {
    InputStream inputStream = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(FLAT_XML_DATASET);
    IDataSet dataset = new FlatXmlDataSet(inputStream);
    return dataset;
}

private IDatabaseConnection getConnection() throws Exception {
    Connection jdbcConnection = bds.getConnection();
    IDatabaseConnection connection = new DatabaseConnection(jdbcConnection);
    return connection;
}
}

Any ideas on why I may be hanging on that connection, or an idea of how to troubleshoot?

Thanks,
Sean

Per the usual protocol, a good nights sleep helps you think. I completely over-looked the maxActive setting available for the appContext-hsqldb.xml property for my DataSource

<bean id="dataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource" destroy-method="close">
    <property name="driverClassName" value="org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver" />
    <property name="url" value="jdbc:hsqldb:mem:test" />
    <property name="username" value="sa" />
    <property name="password" value="" />
    ****<property name="maxActive" value="-1"/>****
</bean>

Hope this helps someone else in the future.
