DbUnit Includes / XML Entities

[Craig Taylor]

I'm in need to creating a number of creating a number of unit tests and so wanted to have a standard directory with inidividual files that I could include by defining an entity reference.

However it appears that dbunit is wanting to use the startup directory instead of the directory in which the root dbunit.xml file is located.

Eg:

src/resources/testdata
  MyClassTestFile.dbunit.xml
  standard/ItemIdLiketoInclude.dbunit.xml

Has anyone tried / accomplished this before? If so, how was the directory location handled ?

Thanks,

I ended up finding two possible solutions to this issue:

o Use of a CompositeDataset where I enumerated all dependencies for my unit test in the constructor
o or (untested) getting Ant to run a xslt transformation for me to generate the full xml.

I ended up going with CompositeDataset although looking back on it now I think the XSLT might be a bit more flexible...
