Passing system property

["Dhondt, Edwin" <ed...@hp.com>]

I'm using the combination Spring 2.5.6 TestContext Framework, JUnit 4.4.

I need to pass a system property so Spring can resolve it during it's property resolver fase.

I can start my IDE with a -D (e.g. -Duser.name=<myname>) option and when executing the JUnit test from within my IDE everything goes fine.

When running this same test using Maven 2 surefire plugin the test fails even when specifying -Duser.name=<myname> on the maven cmd line.

What am I doing wrong ?

How should I get this system property passed to the JVM in which the JUnit test is actually execution ?

Thanks,
EDH

The surefire doc should answer this:
