Class TransactionalTestExecutionListener

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.test.context.support.AbstractTestExecutionListener

org.springframework.test.context.transaction.TransactionalTestExecutionListener

All Implemented Interfaces:

TestExecutionListener

public class TransactionalTestExecutionListener
extends AbstractTestExecutionListener

TestExecutionListener that provides support for executing tests within transactions by using the @Transactional and @NotTransactional annotations.

Changes to the database during a test that is run with @Transactional will be run within a transaction that will, by default, be automatically rolled back after completion of the test; whereas, changes to the database during a test that is run with @NotTransactional will not be run within a transaction. Test methods that are not annotated with either @Transactional (at the class or method level) or @NotTransactional will not be run within a transaction.

Transactional commit and rollback behavior can be configured via the class-level @TransactionConfiguration and method-level @Rollback annotations. @TransactionConfiguration also provides configuration of the bean name of the PlatformTransactionManager that is to be used to drive transactions.

When executing transactional tests, it is sometimes useful to be able to execute certain set up or tear down code outside of a transaction. TransactionalTestExecutionListener provides such support for methods annotated with @BeforeTransaction and @AfterTransaction.

Method Detail

beforeTestMethod

public void beforeTestMethod(TestContext testContext)
                      throws java.lang.Exception

If the test method of the supplied test context is configured to run within a transaction, this method will run @BeforeTransaction methods and start a new transaction.

Note that if a @BeforeTransaction method fails, remaining @BeforeTransaction methods will not be invoked, and a transaction will not be started.

Specified by:

beforeTestMethod in interface TestExecutionListener

Overrides:

beforeTestMethod in class AbstractTestExecutionListener

Parameters:

testContext - the test context in which the test method will be executed; never null

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - allows any exception to propagate

See Also:

Transactional, NotTransactional

afterTestMethod

public void afterTestMethod(TestContext testContext)
                     throws java.lang.Exception

If a transaction is currently active for the test method of the supplied test context, this method will end the transaction and run @AfterTransaction methods.

@AfterTransaction methods are guaranteed to be invoked even if an error occurs while ending the transaction.

Specified by:

afterTestMethod in interface TestExecutionListener

Overrides:

afterTestMethod in class AbstractTestExecutionListener

Parameters:

testContext - the test context in which the test method was executed; never null

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - allows any exception to propagate

runBeforeTransactionMethods

protected void runBeforeTransactionMethods(TestContext testContext)
                                    throws java.lang.Exception

Run all @BeforeTransaction methods for the specified test context. If one of the methods fails, however, the caught exception will be rethrown in a wrapped RuntimeException, and the remaining methods will not be given a chance to execute.

Parameters:

testContext - the current test context

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

runAfterTransactionMethods

protected void runAfterTransactionMethods(TestContext testContext)
                                   throws java.lang.Exception

Run all @AfterTransaction methods for the specified test context. If one of the methods fails, the caught exception will be logged as an error, and the remaining methods will be given a chance to execute. After all methods have executed, the first caught exception, if any, will be rethrown.

Parameters:

testContext - the current test context

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

startNewTransaction

private void startNewTransaction(TestContext testContext,
                       TransactionalTestExecutionListener.TransactionContext txContext)
                          throws java.lang.Exception

Start a new transaction for the supplied test context.

Only call this method if endTransaction(org.springframework.test.context.TestContext, org.springframework.test.context.transaction.TransactionalTestExecutionListener.TransactionContext) has been called or if no transaction has been previously started.
