Persistence Unit Property Overrides

Hey,

In my persistence unit I have properties to customize the behaviour of
the JPA implementation, ie. hibernate.

Is there a way to override these properties programmatically?

I am thinking specifically of unit tests, where I want hibernate to
"drop-create" instead of just "create". I tried specifying it in my
datasource creation properties in the InitialContext environment
hashtable, but this doesn't seem to take "priority", and looks like it
is applied last. Or did I make a mistake somewhere?

Thanks,
Quintin Beukes

Hi Quintin,

Yes, you can use InitialContext properties in unit tests to override
properties.
Just one tip, you must use the persistence unit name and not the datasource
name.

Have a look to
http://openejb.apache.org/3.0/configuring-persistenceunits-in-tests.html

Hope it helps.
