spring dbunit servlet module

This module provides a ServletContextListener for loading and unloading DBUnit DataSets on web application startup and shutdown.

For example, this can be useful when developing a prototype where database content needs to be refreshed periodically.

How?

Quick start:

Declare the Listener in your web.xml

<listener>
	<listener-class>com.excilys.ebi.spring.dbunit.servlet.DataLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>

In this case, the engine will load a file named dataSet.xml located at the classpath root.

Custom configuration:

Defaults can be overridden thanks to context params in the web.xml :

<context-param>
	<!-- the DataSet files, comma separated -->
	<param-name>spring.dbunit.dataSets</param-name>
	<param-value>classpath:dataSet.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
	<!-- Operation to be performed on webapp startup (see DBOps enum) -->
	<param-name>spring.dbunit.setUpOperation</param-name>
	<param-value>CLEAN_INSERT</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
	<!-- Operation to be performed on webapp shutdown (see DBOps enum) -->
	<param-name>spring.dbunit.tearDownOperation</param-name>
	<param-value>NONE</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
	<!-- File format (see DataSetFormat enum) -->
	<param-name>spring.dbunit.format</param-name>
	<param-value>FLAT</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
	<!-- Database type (see DBType enum) -->
	<param-name>spring.dbunit.dbType</param-name>
	<param-value>HSQLDB</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
	<!-- Name of DataSource spring bean in case of multiple DataSources in the ApplicationContext -->
	<param-name>spring.dbunit.SPRING_DBUNIT_INIT_PARAM_PREFIX</param-name>
	<param-value></param-value>
</context-param>
