Annotation Type DirtiesContext

@Target(value=METHOD)
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Inherited
@Documented
public @interface DirtiesContext

Test annotation to indicate that a test method dirties the context for the current test. Using this annotation is less error-prone than calling setDirty() explicitly because the call to setDirty() is guaranteed to occur, even if the test failed. If only a particular code path in the test dirties the context, prefer calling setDirty() explicitly--and take care!
