Is there TestNG integration for JavaConfig?

[JavaGeek_Boston]

Hello All,
JavaConfig looks very promising and I can't wait to integrate it into my next project. Is there any TestNG integration?

Presently I use AbstractTestNGSpringContextTests as well as XML config and <context: property-placeholder../> plus a properties file (for machine-specific information, like passwords).

Are these features available in Spring JavaConfig?

Thanks in Advance,
Steven

I'm also interested in these features...

I wonder if you could use the "loader" attribute of @ContextConfiguration by writing a custom ContextLoader that returns your JavaConfigApplicationContext.

I'll try this out over the next few days and post my results.

Anyone else tried this?

There is a JavaConfigContextLoader implementation in the latest m4 snapshots. This should get you what you're looking for.

Steven, as to your question about property-placeholder, equivalent support is available with the combination of @PropertiesValueSource and @ExternalValue. Again, these are both available in the nightlies. See the javadoc and unit tests for examples of use. And, of course, feel free to ask questions here.

Thanks Chris,

I used some of the code from the m4 snapshot to write a custom ContextLoader and everything works great. I'll switch over to the correct loader once m4 is out.
