I've been messing around with JDBCCacheLoader and I have realised that we don't
currently have a unit test that can test the JDBCCacheLoader inside an AS. Ok, we have
JDBCCacheLoaderTest that can work based on the cache-jdbc.properties and you could start
AS manually and test it.
This however is a manual process and when it comes to CC, only standalone JDBCCacheLoader
is being tested.
I think it'd be ideal to basically extend JDBCCacheLoaderTest to set it up to work
with an AS (starting it/stopping it). This would give us even more confidence and coverage
for the ManagedConnectionFactory area. I might not have time to do that before I commit my
current work for BETA1 but definitely something worth bearing in mind.
Another question would be of course, what AS version would be integrate against?
There're various projects out there that have done something similar, first obviously
AS itself and second messaging. What's your experience with this? What have we learnt
about it? Shall we reuse some code for this? We would need a very limited AS version
actually with JNDI, JDBC Connection Pooling, HS and HS driver.
As you can see, this opens ups whole bunch of questions. Thoughts? Opinions? Critics?

Wow. I'd hate to add the weight of downloading (on the fly?) an AS
version, starting and stopping it from within a unit test.
As an immediate solution we could add this to the list of manual
release procedures so it gets done with every release, but as you
pointed out manual steps suck too.
IMO, this falls into a category of integration tests (such as testing
with Hibernate releases) which needs to sit outside of the usual
cruise control runs and the functional test suite.
I propose a more formal integration test suite (maybe with it's own
cruise control target?) which:
1) Pulls down different versions of JBC and performs compat/interop
tests (we already have these)
2) Pulls down different Hibernate versions and performs tests on these
3) Pulls down different AS versions and performs tests, including
the JDBCCacheLoader with managed collections as well as other JBC
'use cases' such as SFSBs and HTTP Sessions
3.1) Different combinations of the versions in 2) and 3), to test
EJB3 entity beans
3.2) Combinations including different JGroups versions
So as you can see, we have a shit load of test combinations that can
come out of this. I do see the value here though, it will even make
QA's work in certifying JBC releases against AS versions and JGroups
versions (and even Hibernate versions) easier.
