So I have some test cases in which I actually need a working hibernate session so I'm having my tests start up an ioc registry. This took a bit of digging to figure out but I got it working. Here's a minimal test case that I used to prove that it worked:
public void testTest() throws Exception { RegistryBuilder builder = new RegistryBuilder(); builder.add(TapestryModule.class); builder.add(HibernateModule.class); builder.add(InternalTestModule.class); builder.add(AppModule.class); Registry registry = builder.build(); // mode can be anything here registry.getService(Alias.class).setMode("test"); // ... loads one of my services to make sure it works } The biggest trick was contributing my own internal test module so that I could override ApplicationDefaults in order to provide the correct root application package which is needed by tapestry-hibernate during configuration. Whew. public final class InternalTestModule { public static void contributeAliasOverrides(Configuration<AliasContribution> config) { ApplicationGlobalsImpl globals = new ApplicationGlobalsImpl(); globals.store("your.root.package"); config.add(AliasContribution.create(ApplicationGlobals.class, globals)); } } But it seems to be loading fine now and I can use the hibernate stuff in my tests without a problem. There is more that's need as far as thread cleanup and shutting down the registry but this is what's needed to get it at least running. -- Dan Adams Senior Software Engineer Interactive Factory 617.235.5857 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
