notes on schuchert jpa tutor 1

i am following schuchert's jpa tutor 1 at http://schuchert.wikispaces.com/JPA+Tutorial+1+-+Getting+Started

however, my environment is netbeans 6.5 + glassfish v2 + postgre..

lets note down some drawbacks i faced:

• i get the following error while trying to run PersonTest :
  

Testcase: emptyTest(entity.PersonTest):        Caused an ERROR

null

java.lang.NullPointerException at entity.PersonTest.cleanup(PersonTest.java:31)

Test entity.PersonTest FAILED

to fix:

- use in memory database in unit tests with persistence.xml as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<persistence version="1.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_1_0.xsd">

<persistence-unit name="SchuchertJpaTutor1TestPU" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">

    <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>

    <non-jta-data-source></non-jta-data-source>

    <exclude-unlisted-classes>false</exclude-unlisted-classes>

    <properties>

        <property name="hibernate.connection.url" value="jdbc:hsqldb:mem:unit-testing-jpa"/>

        <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class" value="org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver"/>

        <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect"/>

        <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="create-drop"/>

        <property name="hibernate.connection.username" value="sa"/>

        <property name="hibernate.connection.password" value=""/>

    </properties>

  </persistence-unit>

</persistence>

- add hsqldb.jar and (possibly) servlet.jar to test libs 

and run the test again, it should pass now..

• when Address is added to Person, delete the final keyword from getter and setter methods for address.(it results in compile error..)

i will continue with the next tutorial, so see you at the next blog entry :)
