Re: Begin book addresses mock object testing only (alternatives?)

Hello Jeff, thanks for the reply. I'm not sure what you mean by the IBatis builds (build IBatis from source?). In any case I accepted the Clinton Begin advice (challange) and I built the JPetstore. I'm not confident in the use of in-memory DBs even if it is hsql. And, my requirements are for: MySQL. This being said I re-configured the JPetstore app to use MySql. I ran all 3 .sql files to setup the MySql instance with a JPetstore database. I deployed the jpetstore.war to TC but invoking the url: http://localhost:8080/jpetstore only evokes the server 500 error (See included stacktrace). I did not have this issue with the hsql version of JPetstore. If the IBator build means something deployable or buildable on the command-line please advise, David.

You could look at the Ibatis or Ibator builds - they both unit test with
JUnit against a "live" database (hsqldb).
The Ibator build uses generated DAO layer, JUnit, hsqldb - seems like just
what you are asking for.
