import com.apress.isf.java.model.Document;
import com.apress.isf.java.model.Type;
import com.apress.isf.java.service.SearchEngine;
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration("classpath:META-INF/spring/mydocuments-context.xml")
public class MyDocumentsTest {
private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(MyDocumentsTest.class);
@Autowired
private SearchEngine engine;

public void testUsingSpringTest() {
log.debug("Using Spring Test fixtures:");
List documents = engine.findByType(webType);
assertNotNull(documents);
assertTrue(documents.size() == 1);
assertEquals(webType.getName(),documents.get(0).getType().getName());
assertEquals(webType.getDesc(),documents.get(0).getType().getDesc());

In Listing 7-1, you are using the @RunWith annotation. This annotation is just a JUnit annotation that is telling it
to use the SpringJUnit4ClassRunner class to run the unit tests instead of the JUnit engine. This will allow it to use all
the features of the Spring integration testing such as having access to the Spring container. You are also using the @
ContextConfiguration annotation, which is part of the Spring testing fixtures. This will help to load the beans into the
Spring container by passing the location of your XML configuration and have them (the beans) ready and accessible
when using the context or, even better, when using the well-known @Autowired annotation.
If you run this test (see Listing 7-1) using the gradle tool
gradle :ch07:test
then you should have the following output:
