Enum DirtiesContext.HierarchyMode

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<DirtiesContext.HierarchyMode>

org.springframework.test.annotation.DirtiesContext.HierarchyMode

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<DirtiesContext.HierarchyMode>

Enclosing class:

DirtiesContext

public static enum DirtiesContext.HierarchyMode
extends Enum<DirtiesContext.HierarchyMode>

Defines modes which determine how the context cache is cleared when @DirtiesContext is used in a test whose context is configured as part of a hierarchy via @ContextHierarchy.

Since:

3.2.2

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant and Description
CURRENT_LEVEL The ApplicationContext for the current level in the context hierarchy and all contexts in subhierarchies of the current level will be removed from the context cache and closed.
EXHAUSTIVE The context cache will be cleared using an exhaustive algorithm that includes not only the current level but also all other context hierarchies that share an ancestor context common to the current test.

Method Summary

Enum Constant Detail

EXHAUSTIVE

public static final DirtiesContext.HierarchyMode EXHAUSTIVE

The context cache will be cleared using an exhaustive algorithm that includes not only the current level but also all other context hierarchies that share an ancestor context common to the current test.

All ApplicationContexts that reside in a subhierarchy of the common ancestor context will be removed from the context cache and closed.

CURRENT_LEVEL

public static final DirtiesContext.HierarchyMode CURRENT_LEVEL

The ApplicationContext for the current level in the context hierarchy and all contexts in subhierarchies of the current level will be removed from the context cache and closed.

The current level refers to the ApplicationContext at the lowest level in the context hierarchy that is visible from the current test.

Method Detail

values

public static DirtiesContext.HierarchyMode[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (DirtiesContext.HierarchyMode c : DirtiesContext.HierarchyMode.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static DirtiesContext.HierarchyMode valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
