It ain't configuration, it is the AbstractDbTestCase code: http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbpm/jbpm3/trunk/modules/core/src/main/jav... public void setUp() throws Exception { | createSchema(); // HERE | createJbpmContext(); | initializeMembers(); | } | | public void tearDown() throws Exception { | resetMembers(); | closeJbpmContext(); | dropSchema(); // AND HERE | super.tearDown(); | } Note however that removing the above lines will be a challenge because many tests depend on an empty database. Perhaps we could simply clear the tables instead of dropping them? Of course that would imply caring about constraint violations. Not an easy way out either.
