Hi all,
just for the archive. I found an old post in this list about this topic
but no solution was found.
Here it is now.
Q: How do I insert binary data into the DB using dbunit? Without
inserting the data in the xml itself, of course.
A: It's simple. Although DBUnit claims to have support for loading
binary data from external files no documentation is provided.
Just insert an url (e.g. http://www.blah.com/blah.jpg) or a path to a
file. Relative paths have to start with ./ .
A relative path has to start from the dir where maven has been executed,
e.g core/.
This excerpt from my sample-data.xml works for me, using latest dbunit,
executing maven in core:
<row>
<value description="id">-1</value>
<value description="name">An image!</value>
<value description="description">
An image which shows something!
</value>
<value description="width">800</value>
<value description="height">600</value>
<value description="contentType">image/jpg</value>
<value description="size">39315</value>
<value description="version">0</value>
<value
description="data">./src/test/resources/gr/ksi/op2/resources/impl/image1.jpg</value>
</row>
Remaing problems:
dbunit can't find the path if maven is executed in the dir of the
parent pom.xml.
Hope this helps,
Joachim
