Begin book addresses mock object testing only (alternatives?)
Hello Begin, Goodin and Meadors, having read (and reread) the Begin book, and in particular, the ch. 13 Unit testing only seems to cover the use of Mock objects. I don't dispute the need and usefulness of Mock objects but I would like to JUnit test my iBatis/MySql development using a live database. I know this is discussed briefly in the book but I don't see any real-world examples that apply to what I am trying to test. Please reply with links or directives to examples of DAO layer JUnit testing of iBatis against a live database. The most valuable example would test against two tables with references and contraints e.g. primary key auto-generation and a FK reference to the generated key. My current efforts only return test errors (not failures). Regards, David.

JPetStore also has unit tests that hit the database directly.

You could look at the Ibatis or Ibator builds - they both unit test with
JUnit against a "live" database (hsqldb).
The Ibator build uses generated DAO layer, JUnit, hsqldb - seems like just
what you are asking for.
