How can I keep my IDatabaseConnection open after setUp/tearDown when extending DBTestCase/DatabaseTestCase?
Since DBUnit 2.4.4 there is a new method IDatabaseTester#setOperationListener which allows to set a user defined listener which is invoked on different operations during the test execution. The DBTestCase/DatabaseTestCase classes make use of this new functionality and by default closes the connection after setUp/tearDown operations were executed. Here an example of how to change this behavior so that the connection will not be closed anymore: public class MyTestCase extends DBTestCase{ // Overwrite the method getOperationListener to provide our own operation listener protected IOperationListener getOperationListener() { return new DefaultOperationListener(){ public void operationSetUpFinished( IDatabaseConnection connection) { // Do not invoke the “super” method to avoid that the connection is closed } public void operationTearDownFinished( IDatabaseConnection connection) { // Do not invoke the “super” method to avoid that the connection is closed } }; } } Note that there dbunit provid
