java - Running JUnit tests that depend on resources defined in WebSphere -

i've written unit tests reference classes reference other classes have dependencies on jdbc resources defined in websphere. unit tests in question don't trigger database reads or writes, classes refer created spring , spring config file tries inject jdbc resources them. spring fails, error message:

 2013-07-31 13:46:17,008:could not load application context org.springframework.beans.factory.beancreationexception: error creating bean name 'datasource' defined in class path resource [myapplication.xml]: invocation of init method failed; nested exception javax.naming.serviceunavailableexception: not obtain initial context due communication failure. since no provider url specified, default provider url of "corbaloc:iiop:1.0@mymachinename.mycompany.com:2809/nameservice" used.  make sure bootstrap address information in url correct , target name server running.  possible causes other incorrect bootstrap address or unavailable name server include network environment , workstation network configuration.

the definition of datasource bean simple:

<bean id="datasource" class="org.springframework.jndi.jndiobjectfactorybean">     <property name="jndiname" value="jdbc/datasource" /> </bean> 

how can spring correctly connect websphere jndi when unit test run outside of application container?

though not connecting websphere instance, when looking @ jndi resources, can use simplenamingcontextbuilder org.springframework.mock.jndi package. allows build object (say datasource own direct binding remote jndi service) bind 'mock' jndi service injection spring application context @ test time.

to this, you'll need in @beforeclass (static) of junit test ensure jndi bindings available before app context starts up. (so app context can find when looks jdbc/datasource)

i wouldn't recommend connecting server if you're going use in continuous integration environment, if you're looking @ doing 'one-off, manual test' try following;

@beforeclass public static void beforeclass() throws exception {      properties properties = new properties();     //build properties remove class     context context = new initialcontext(properties);     //look datasource     datasource ds = (datasource) context.lookup("");     //now build simple     simplenamingcontextbuilder builder = simplenamingcontextbuilder.emptyactivatedcontextbuilder();     builder.bind("jdbc/datasource", ds);  }
