Bartosz Majsak updated ARQ-718:
-------------------------------

    Description: There is a need for exposing customization features of DBUnit used for seeding underlying database (such as those available in org.dbunit.database.DatabaseConfig) and to have control over its behaviour on a test basis.  (was: There is a need for exposing customization features of DBUnit used for seeding underlying database (such as those available in org.dbunit.database.DatabaseConfig).

One possible solution would be to use arquillian.xml with dedicated qualifier such as "persistence-dbunit" and handle it in the same fashion as currently available properties for the extension (preferably in dbunit package):
* Create configuration class similar to [PersistenceConfiguration|https://github.com/arquillian/arquillian-extension-persistence/blob/master/impl/src/main/java/org/jboss/arquillian/persistence/configuration/PersistenceConfiguration.java]
* Make [ConfigurationImporter|https://github.com/arquillian/arquillian-extension-persistence/blob/master/impl/src/main/java/org/jboss/arquillian/persistence/configuration/ConfigurationImporter.java] and [ConfigurationExporter|https://github.com/arquillian/arquillian-extension-persistence/blob/master/impl/src/main/java/org/jboss/arquillian/persistence/configuration/ConfigurationExporter.java] generic to work for currently existing configuration and newly created DBUnit specific.
* Introduce DBUnitConfiguration producer similar to [PersistenceConfigurationProducer|https://github.com/arquillian/arquillian-extension-persistence/blob/master/impl/src/main/java/org/jboss/arquillian/persistence/client/PersistenceConfigurationProducer.java].
* Serialize new properties in [PersistenceExtensionArchiveAppender|https://github.com/arquillian/arquillian-extension-persistence/blob/master/impl/src/main/java/org/jboss/arquillian/persistence/deployment/PersistenceExtensionArchiveAppender.java] (same as for general properties)
* Introduce remote producer (which deserialize deployed property file and make it available on the server side) similar to [RemotePersistenceConfigurationProducer|https://github.com/arquillian/arquillian-extension-persistence/blob/master/impl/src/main/java/org/jboss/arquillian/persistence/configuration/RemotePersistenceConfigurationProducer.java]
* Configuration object then might be injected and used for customizing DBUnit connection in [DBUnitPersistenceTestLifecycleHandler|https://github.com/arquillian/arquillian-extension-persistence/blob/master/impl/src/main/java/org/jboss/arquillian/persistence/data/dbunit/DBUnitPersistenceTestLifecycleHandler.java#L110] 

Additionaly there should be a way (most likely annotation based) to define / override some settings on a test besis (e.g. column filtering).)
