!!Start HSQL and run tests [#4]

!!Modify applicationContext-hibernate.xml [#4]

You need to turn off batch processing for Hibernate for things to work with HSQL. In ''src/dao/**/applicationContext-hibernate.xml'', uncomment the following line:

HSQLDB doesn't ship with a way to start and run it as a service. However, there is a way to configure HSQLDB to [run as a service|http://www.waldhor.com/hsql.htm]. Following these instructions, you can install an HSQL service running the "appfuse" database. Just [download the hsql.exe and hsql_service_install.bat|http://www.waldhor.com/hsql.zip] and change the hsql_service_install.bat to contain the following. The setttings below assume you've extracted the hsqldb download to c:\Tools\hsqldb and that you've install the downloaded files into the same directory.

If you write model objects with Boolean values, you may find that DBUnit fails. A quick fix for this is to add a reference to DBUnits custom data types.

At line 76 added 32 lines.

Unfortunately, the generally accepted remedy does not seemd to work, namely:

{{{

<taskdef name="dbunit" classname="org.dbunit.ant.DbUnitTask" classpathref="dao.test.classpath"

datatypeFactory="ca.ottawa.eiad.eventscal.util.HsqlDataTypeFactory"

/>

}}}

The quick and dirty fix for this seems to be to add the factory whereever it's needed, e.g.

{{{

<target name="db-export" depends="prepare"

description="Exports the current data in the database">

<dbunit driver="${database.driver_class}" url="${database.url}"

datatypeFactory="org.dbunit.ext.hsqldb.HsqldbDataTypeFactory"

userid="${database.username}" password="${database.password}">

</dbunit>

</target>

}}}

The db-load target or anything else that uses DBUnit will need a similar quickfix, so a request has been made to the JIRA issue tracker to have this fixed with a global variable for a future release.

You may need to upgrade to DBUnit2.2 for this to work. Don't forget to update your lib.properties :

{{{

#

# DBUnit - http://www.dbunit.org/

#

dbunit.version=2.2

dbunit.dir=${lib.dir}/dbunit-${dbunit.version}

dbunit.jar=${dbunit.dir}/dbunit-${dbunit.version}.jar

}}}
