Annotation Type ExtendedContextConfiguration

@Documented
@Inherited
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value=TYPE)
public @interface ExtendedContextConfiguration

In addition Spring's @ContextConfiguration, provides settings for the ModuleApplicationContext to be created.

WARNING: For the settings to be applied to the ApplicationContext, the contextLoader attribute of the @ContextConfiguration annotation MUST BE A SUBTYPE OF ModuleTestContextLoader.

Typically, you would annotate your test classes as follows:

 @RunWith(EL4JJunit4ClassRunner.class)
 @ExtendedContextConfiguration(exclusiveConfigLocations = {
           "classpath*:mandatory/refdb-core-config.xml",
           "classpath*:mandatory/keyword-core-config.xml" },
     allowBeanDefinitionOverriding = "true")
 @ContextConfiguration(
     locations = {
               "classpath*:mandatory/*.xml",
               "classpath*:scenarios/db/raw/*.xml",
         ...
         },
     loader = ModuleTestContextLoader.class)
 @Transactional
 public abstract class AbstractJpaDaoTest
 

The exclusiveConfigLocations parameter is affected by @ContextConfiguration's inheritLocations attribute, i.e. the paths to be excluded are overridden or merged depending on the value of inheritLocations.

The boolean properties of ModuleApplicationContextConfiguration have to be specified as String values which allows one to only specify the properties whose values vary from the values specified in the superclasses' @ExtendedContextConfiguration specification.

Optional Element Summary

String	allowBeanDefinitionOverriding Indicates if bean definition overriding is enabled.
String[]	exclusiveConfigLocations Exclusive config locations.
String	mergeWithOuterResources Indicates if unordered/unknown resources should be used.
String	mostSpecificBeanDefinitionCounts Indicates if the most specific bean definition counts.
String	mostSpecificResourceLast Indicates if the most specific resource should be the last resource in the fetched resource array.

exclusiveConfigLocations

public abstract String[] exclusiveConfigLocations

Exclusive config locations. The default is an empty string array. Note that the ContextConfiguration.inheritLocations() property affects the behaviour of exclusiveConfigLocations in the same way it affects the ContextConfiguration.locations().

Default:

{}

allowBeanDefinitionOverriding

public abstract String allowBeanDefinitionOverriding

Indicates if bean definition overriding is enabled. Must be "true" or "false".

Default:

""

mergeWithOuterResources

public abstract String mergeWithOuterResources

Indicates if unordered/unknown resources should be used. Must be "true" or "false".

Default:

""

mostSpecificResourceLast

public abstract String mostSpecificResourceLast

Indicates if the most specific resource should be the last resource in the fetched resource array. If its value is set to true and only one resource is requested the least specific resource will be returned. Must be "true" or "false".

Default:

""

mostSpecificBeanDefinitionCounts

public abstract String mostSpecificBeanDefinitionCounts

Indicates if the most specific bean definition counts. Must be "true" or "false".

Default:

""
