Title Body

I'm trying to write integration tests for a controller in our spring mvc application. The controller invokes a service class which in turn invokes a dao to read/write data from the repository. The DAO needs to lookup some configuration. The configuration bean is defined in WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml. I'm using something like this: Configuration config =(Configuration)ContextLoader.getCurrentWebApplicationContext().getBean("config"); private String namespace = config.getProperty("someproperty"); The properties are stored in zookeeper so I'm not using spring's property management artifacts. The problem is that while running the JUnit test ContextLoader.getCurrentWebApplicationContext() always returns null. I have so far looked at the following approaches: 1. Ted Young's approach ( just google search for spring mvc integration tests ted young) 2. https://github.com/SpringSource/spring-test-mvc 3. this site.. questions/8464919/unit-testing-a-servlet-that-depends-on-springs-webapplicationcontextutils-getre 4. Use Selenium/JWebunit 5. http://confluence.highsource.org/display/Hifaces20/Hifaces20+Testing+package+-+testing%2C+tracing+and+debugging+web+applications+with+Jetty 1 doesn't resolve this issue. WebApplicationContext stays null 2 states that support for WebApplicationContext will be available in spring 3.2 3. I don't understand this. Where do I get the testApplicationContext and the getServletContext() from? 4. I do not want to go this way as this is completely blackbox testing. 5. I'm currently looking at 5. But this requires starting up a servlet container. Is there no other alternative? I will appreciate any h
