Eddie,
Is there support for JDBC controls that use a data source? For example
if you the following annotation when declaring a control will it work?
@Control
@JdbcControl.ConnectionDataSource(jndiName =
"java:comp/env/jdbc/perf")
private MyJdbcControl jdbcControl;
Thanks,
Patrick.

I've written a small, standalone JUnit test container that can be
used for out-of-container testing of Controls. This is a pretty
simple set of classes that are described below.
When a test class runs, a new control container context is created
and control fields declared with @Control are instantiated, the test
code executes, and both the context and controls are removed. I think
this should be sufficient to replace the custom control test
containers defined in both the JDBC and web service controls.
Non-goals of this test container include:
- facilitate in-container testing as part of EJBs / Servlets / JSPs /
ServletFilters / etc. Frameworks like Cactus are good at this sort of
thing, and Beehive should ensure that the facilities to ensure
controls in a test case work there.
- define a new annotation-based model for writing test classes / test
methods. JUnit 4.0 and TestNG are already defining these annotations
/ semantics.
The classes involved are:
- ControlTestCase -- abstract base class used to setup the control
container context and initialize fields marked with @Control. Also
has convenience methods for creating controls programmatically.
- ControlTestUtils -- static helper methods that can be used in a test
environment when a test case needs to extend a different base class.
These would be called in user code from the setUp / tearDown methods.
- ControlTestContainerContext -- simple ControlContainerContext
implementation that allows a test author to wire-up contextual
services, etc
and a sample test is pasted at the bottom of the mail:
I'm considering putting this in the tree under:
trunk/controls/src/junit-testing/...
and producing a JAR called "beehive-controls-junit-testing.jar" that
can be used from the samples / applications / etc and is included in
the Beehive distribution.
It's definitely time that we started making this sort of testing easier. :)
Thoughts / comments?
Eddie
::::: sample test
public class ContainmentTest
extends ControlTestCase {
@Control
private Hello _declarativeHello;
public void testDeclarativeInstantiation() {
System.out.println(_declarativeHello.hello());
}
public void testContainment() {
Hello hello = (Hello)instantiateControl("pkg.containment.HelloBean");
System.out.println(hello.hello());
}
}
