java - How to: Run maven integration tests against a test environment (database) -

i'm using maven , maven-failsafe-plugin start jetty during integration-test lifecycle phase. execute number of (*it.java) junit tests against running webapp. working expected.

however, connect test database integration tests. storing url in

${basedir}/src/test/resources/jdbc.properties   

when jetty plugin runs (jetty:run), uses

${basedir}/src/main/resources/jdbc.propertes  

instead. tried reconfiguring jetty plugin via classesdirectory property use

${project.build.testoutputdirectory} 

but test-classes directory missing actual compiled project classes, resources stored in

${basedir}/src/main/resources  

note: surefire adds test resources classpath, followed main resources, such found in both use test version because found first in classpath.

any ideas on how set correctly?

thanks!

edit:

well, seems there configuration properties on jetty-plugin deal this:

• testclassesdirectory : directory containing generated test classes.
• usetestclasspath : if true, , dependencies of test put first on runtime classpath.

unfortunately, don't work.

here relevant portion of pom.xml:

  <testresources>         <testresource>             <filtering>true</filtering>             <directory>src/test/resources</directory>         </testresource>     </testresources>     <plugins>         <plugin>             <groupid>org.mortbay.jetty</groupid>             <artifactid>maven-jetty-plugin</artifactid>             <version>6.1.26</version>             <configuration>                 <contextpath>/</contextpath>                 <stopport>8005</stopport>                 <stopkey>stop</stopkey>             </configuration>             <executions>                 <execution>                     <id>start-jetty</id>                     <phase>pre-integration-test</phase>                     <goals>                         <goal>run</goal>                     </goals>                     <configuration>                         <daemon>true</daemon>                         <usetestclasspath>true</usetestclasspath>                         <testclassesdirectory>${project.build.testoutputdirectory}</testclassesdirectory>                     </configuration>                 </execution>                 <execution>                     <id>stop-jetty</id>                     <phase>post-integration-test</phase>                     <goals>                         <goal>stop</goal>                     </goals>                 </execution>             </executions>         </plugin>         <plugin>             <artifactid>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactid>             <version>2.6</version>             <executions>                 <execution>                     <goals>                         <goal>integration-test</goal>                         <goal>verify</goal>                     </goals>                 </execution>             </executions>             <configuration>                 <usefile>false</usefile>             </configuration>         </plugin> 

i have same problem, , solved using custom web.xml (jettyweb.xml) see maven configuarion

    <build>     <plugins>          <plugin>             <groupid>org.mortbay.jetty</groupid>             <artifactid>maven-jetty-plugin</artifactid>             <configuration>                 <overridewebxml>./src/main/webapp/web-inf/jettyweb.xml</overridewebxml>                 <scanintervalseconds>3</scanintervalseconds>             </configuration>             <dependencies>              </dependencies>         </plugin>     </plugins>  </build> 

in case use configuration use other spring configuration manage transactions. strategy used use other property files.

my original web.xml has spring configuration

<context-param>     <param-name>contextconfiglocation</param-name>     <param-value>     /web-inf/spring-hibernate.xml,     /web-inf/spring-services.xml     </param-value> </context-param> 

my jettyweb.xml has spring configuration

<context-param>     <param-name>contextconfiglocation</param-name>     <param-value>     /web-inf/spring-hibernate-jetty.xml,     /web-inf/spring-services.xml     </param-value> </context-param> 

this should put on correct path
