New Group: Columbus Software Craftsmanship

As you may or may not know, I have two homes: SW Indiana, and Columbus, Ohio. Since I spend 75% or more of my time in SW Indiana and there are few opportunities in this area for networking/learning the craft, I'm always happy to learn about new groups of like-minded people in my other home.

I found this group through a random tweet from Marc Peabody. He mentioned that they would be trying out some Scala Koans and included a link to the group's Google Groups site. Since joining the group earlier today, I've found the details for the Scala Koans night and I've been informed of interest in running a Code Retreat event at the beginning of April in Columbus.

I haven't made it to any meetings yet (they're still a pretty new group), but I've had some friendly conversations in e-mail with members of the group and have met some of the other members through NFJS, COJUG, CRB, etc... Sounds like it should be a pretty good time when I'm able to make it.

Testing Toolbelt: SpringJUnit4ClassRunner

The org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringJUnit4ClassRunner class is another implementation of the JUnit TestRunner class which is used to enable various features of Spring for every run of the test class and every test within it. To use the features provided by the SpringJUnit4ClassRunner class, you need to mark the class using the RunWith annotation using SpringJUnit4ClassRunner as its parameter. In addition to the custom test runner, you will want to mark the class with the ContextConfiguration annotation. The ContextConfiguration annotation is used to mark classes which will automatically read a Spring configuration file and use it to create an ApplicationContext . By default, this file located at <package path>/<test class name>-context.xml . Use the locations argument to over-ride. The ApplicationContext used by the Spring-integrated test will only be loaded once for the whole test class. This behavior can be over-ridden by annotating a test metho
