How a hypersonic db is created in Spring Life tutorial?

[confs]

Hi,

I have download "Spring Live" sample example in order to learn Spring framework.
I did not understand and "ant deploy", how a hypersonic data base could be created. But it is the case.

I checked target "deploy" and "compile", nowhere could I see the creation of database.

Any explaination?

Thanks!

hsql can be configured to run as an inmemory database. Extremely useful for testing

Indeed. But I could not find where it is configured.

Checkout the hsqldb docs http://hsqldb.sourceforge.net/doc/gu...04.html#N108C6. It is configured in the jdbc url.

The url would be specified where the datasource is configured, I presume in one of the spring context files.

I have been known to be completely dense and miss the whole point of the question If I have done, please say, and re-iterate using really small words for me

Let me described my "problem" again(it is not really a problem but a miracle that I could not understand").

I deleted the hypersonic database files in "my tomcat home folder"/bin/db. Then I run again "ant deploy", it appeared again.

But no where in build.xml traget "deploy" I could see the database definition scripts. How could it be created?

Thanks again for any new explaination.

OK, without actually looking I am flying by the seat of my pants

I expect somewhere in the spring configuration there will be a persistence.xml. In here there will be a datasource configured which will contain a "url" setting. This url setting will probably be something like "jdbc:hsql:." (cannot remember exactly what) which basically tells hypersoniq to create a *new* database everytime an instance of the datasource is created. (Actually, if there are files, the url is most like "jdbc:hsq:mydb.file").

Hibernate can be configured to create the database during loading (hbm.export or something?), or the unit tests might be writing tear up/down methods which create the database.

Do a search for "jdbc" in the xml files and read the unit test sources and I am sure that will shine a light

[Colin Yates]

BTW; If I am right it will only create the database during unit testing, so deploy probably depends on a unit test ant target.

Alternatively I might be barking *completely* up the wrong tree and the same actually uses a template database which it simply copies
