Re: [Springframework-developer] Injecting Dependencies into Unit Test classes

[Colin S. <col...@ex...>]

Dion,

This already exists. Take a look at the org.springframework.test package 
which is included with spring-mock.jar. In there you're find 
AbstractDependencyInjectionSpringContextTests, 
AbstractTransactionalSpringContextTests, and 
AbstractTransactionalDataSourceSpringContextTests. They can all inject 
dependencies via setter injection, or alternately field injection, and 
the latter two classes also create a transaction around each test, and 
roll back after each test (by default), so that your database tests can 
do any kind of db work they need to, verify the results, and then the 
rollback ensures the original state of the db isn't changed.
