Maven and AbstractDependencyInjectionSpringContextTests

[thomasvdv]

Has anyone succeeded at running a static application context in Maven?

I've used it for running tests. I load the applicationContext from the class path. If you store it in the source tree, you need to copy it across with something like:

  <postGoal name="java&#58;compile">
    <copy todir="$&#123;maven.build.dest&#125;">
      <fileset dir="$&#123;pom.build.sourceDirectory&#125;">
        <include name="**/*.xml"/>
        <include name="**/*.dtd"/>
      </fileset>
    </copy>
  </postGoal>

I am not sure if anyone tried the Spring context test cases with Maven but I doubt that the context is loaded only once per test run. I have opened a bug with Maven. For those who run into the same problem, you can follow it here:

http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPTEST-44

Let me know if I am wrong so I can change the status on Maven's JIRA.
