Spring AbstractTransactionalDataSourceSpringContextTests - Preventing database rollback after each Junit test

Question

I have a test class that extends AbstractTransactionalDataSourceSpringContextTests.

I did not write this class, and need to make a small change. I'd like to see what would happen if i prevented the recreation of the test database (using DbUnit) after each test.

I have tried playing with the following lines:

@Override
protected void onSetUpBeforeTransaction() throws Exception {
    initialisingTables.create("Init");
}

@Override
protected void onTearDownAfterTransaction() throws Exception {
    deleteTables(true);
    deleteTables(false);
}

But nothing seems to help.

Answer 1

I guess you just have to annotate your test methods with

@Rollback(false)

or the test class with sometjing like this:

@TransactionConfiguration(transactionManager="txMgr", defaultRollback=false)
