Hibernate temporary datastore - spring

Question

I doing unit testing on spring-hibernate DAOs... configured using
#ContextConfiguration(
locations = {
"classpath:test-applicationContext.xml"
})
but it looks like its transacting with the actual database.
How do I use a temporary datastore with out working on actual database

Answer 1

Define your data store on a separate file and include that xml file with your mail application xml. When testing, include a separate xml file to hold your data store pointing to another database such as hsql. Then this will be the data source referred to by your main applicationContext.xml.

Thanks Guys I used H2 and got it working:
<bean id="dataSource"
class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource">
<property name="driverClassName" value="org.h2.Driver" />
<property name="url"
value="jdbc:h2:mem:processdb;INIT=RUNSCRIPT FROM 'classpath:create.sql'" />
</bean>
<bean id="sessionFactory"
class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
<property name="configLocation">
<value>classpath:hibernate.cfg.xml</value>
</property>
<property name="configurationClass">
<value>org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationConfiguration</value>
</property>
<property name="hibernateProperties">
<props>
<prop key="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.H2Dialect</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.show_sql">true</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
<tx:annotation-driven />
<bean id="transactionManager"
class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTransactionManager">
<property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory" />
</bean>
<bean id="stateDAO" class="com.tutorial.jquery.dao.impl.StateDAOImpl"></bean>
<bean id="stateService" class="com.tutorial.jquery.service.impl.StateServiceImpl"></bean>
