ORM/data store testing

[Rahul Thakur <ra...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am trying to find some OpenJPA documentation on unit testing a Data
Store implmentation. Specifically looking for pointers to docs (if
any) which demonstrate if there is a test framework available that I
can use and which takes care of some boiler plate stuff (parsing
persistence.xml/orm.xml, creating EntityManager etc).

Appreciate any pointers.

Thanks,

Rahul

Thanks for the pointers, Patrick!

A separate module for tests (openjpa-persistence-tests - like you say)
would be great! It would help to cleanly specify a 'test' scoped
dependency for a given maven project. I think currently those sources
are not published with OpenJPA distros so I will just pull them into
my project to get started :-)

Cheers,

Rahul

Hi,

If you extend AbstractStoreManager (or implement StoreManager in any
way, really), OpenJPA will take care of all the standard non-JDBC
parsing, creating of EMs, etc.

There is a very small set of test cases in the openjpa-xmlstore
module, which includes a very basic example of how to extend
AbstractStoreManager.

Many of the rest of our tests also would run against a non-JDBC store.
However, right now, most of them are packaged in
openjpa-persistence-jdbc, to facilitate integration with mvn's way of
doing testing. It would probably be possible to set something up in
mvn to have a separate downstream openjpa-persistence-tests module or
something that somehow dynamically includes the right upstream module
based on some setting.
