AbstractTransactionalDataSourceSpringContextTests VS standalone application

[thogau]

Hi spring folks,

I am facing a small probem I can not figure out... I have a piece of code that runs smoothly when unit tested (it extends AbstractTransactionalDataSourceSpringContextTests) but fails when I try to run it in stand alone program with a main(...) method. Can someone give me a hint please? Any pointers are warmly welcome...
Thanks.

here is the code :

<<<<<<<<<<<<<
public class SecurityTest extends
AbstractTransactionalDataSourceSpringContextTests {

PatientManager mgr;

public SecurityTest() {
ApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(
new String[] { "classpath:/applicationContext-*.xml" });
mgr = (PatientManager) ctx.getBean("patientManager");
}

protected String[] getConfigLocations() {
return new String[] { "classpath:/applicationContext-*.xml" };
}

public void setPatientManager(PatientManager mgr) {
this.mgr = mgr;
}

public void testMe() {
doTheJob();
}

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
new SecurityTest().doTheJob();
}

private void doTheJob() {
Patient p = mgr.getPatient(1L);
mgr.savePatient(p);
}

}
>>>>>>>>>>>>

here is the Exception i get when launching main method :
<<<<<<<<<<<<

You are using the transactional Spring test classes, I would recommend not using a transaction and seeing if the behaviour is the same.

Thanks for answering karldmoore.
Actually if I set my unit test to inherit from AbstractDependencyInjectionSpringContextTests then the test fails just like the main method does (same Exception)...
Any idea how to solve this problem and have the standalone program working?
Thanks.
