Direct Known Subclasses:

AbstractTransactionalJUnit4SpringContextTests

public abstract class AbstractJUnit4SpringContextTests
extends Object
implements org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextAware

Abstract base test class which integrates the Spring TestContext Framework with explicit ApplicationContext testing support in a JUnit 4 environment.

Concrete subclasses should typically declare a class-level @ContextConfiguration annotation to configure the application context resource locations or component classes.

This class serves only as a convenience for extension.

• If you do not wish for your test classes to be tied to a Spring-specific class hierarchy, you may configure your own custom test classes by using SpringRunner, @ContextConfiguration, @TestExecutionListeners, etc.
• If you wish to extend this class and use a runner other than the SpringRunner, you can use SpringClassRule and SpringMethodRule and specify your runner of choice via @RunWith(...).

NOTE: This class requires JUnit 4.12 or higher.

Since:

2.5
