Runnig junit in App server

[junit ant]

Hi Gurus,

I have a small requirement here. The application I need to test has been developed using the hibernate, struts framework. I need to write few unit test scripts for them. The application has Data Access Objects.

I started writing the unit-tests from the DAO. I could successfully build the war file using the build.xml for the application. The war file gets generated successfully. Now to deploy it in the tomcat server, what i am doing is running a small script that stops the tomcat server , copies the war file to webapps and then starts the server.

After this is over. I am trying to run the junit targets for testing the DAO. But i am not able to get the ant script read the hibernate.cfg.xml file. As a result my tests are not able to get the database connection.

Question...

- whether above architecture is correct ? Or is there ant other simple and easy step to get it done ?

- Is there a way to over come this error ?


-------below is the snipped of the code----------------------

<target name="tests" depends="prepare" description="run your test suite" >

<junit printsummary="yes" haltonfailure="no" showoutput="yes" >
<classpath>
<fileset dir="${tomcat.webapps}" includes="**/*.*"/>
<fileset dir="${tomcat.shared}" includes="**/*.*"/>
<pathelement location="${cvs.dir}/config/hibernate.cfg.xml"/>
</classpath>

<batchtest fork="yes" todir="${results.dir}/raw/">
<formatter type="xml"/>
<fileset dir="${test.dir}">
<include name="**/*Test*.java"/>
</fileset>
</batchtest>
</junit>
</target>

[junit ant]

Instead of

<pathelement location="${cvs.dir}/config/hibernate.cfg.xml"/>

try

<pathelement location="${cvs.dir}/config"/>
