Too much configuration in a test class.

Running STS 3.1.0, using a maven project.
I have two tests in two different packages in src/test/java:
c.i.i.g.p.test.PersistenceTests.java
c.i.i.g.x.test.ParserTests.java

PersistenceTests uses java configuration as follows:
@ContextConfiguration(loader=AnnotationConfigConte xtLoader.class)
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)

ParserTests uses xml configuration as follows:
@ContextConfiguration(locations = "classpath:/META-INF/spring/app-context.xml")
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)

When I run the ParserTests using Run As -> JUnit Test the log output shows the proper
/META-INF/spring/app-context.xml being loaded, but then the java configuration that is an inner class in PersistenceTests is also loaded. The two test classes have no code in common (no common base class etc). So it looks like the test run is discovering java configuration classes, even inner classes of other tests, and applying them after loading the requested context.

For example, here is the log output ...

How can I stop that java configuration class from being loaded by other tests???

I can answer this myself - I guess I just was not thinking.

The answer is to ensure your <context:component-scan> excludes the test code. Since all my test code resided in packages with ".test." somewhere in the package name, this worked for me:

<context:component-scan base-package="com.infor.itr.geoname">
<context:exclude-filter type="regex" expression=".*\.test\..*"/>
</context:component-scan>


Thanks!
