I think I ran into an error with my classpath settings.

I want to test an internationalized web-app which has the messagesource defined like this:

<bean id="messageSource"
 class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource">
  <property name="basenames">
    <list>
      <value>/WEB-INF/i18n/errors</value>
      <value>/WEB-INF/i18n/messages</value>
      <value>/WEB-INF/i18n/links</value>
      <value>/WEB-INF/i18n/forms</value>
      <value>/WEB-INF/i18n/communication</value>
    </list>
  </property>
</bean>

Loading these values works perfectly in a production environment.When running a Junit Test however, it can't resolve those property files because they are not on the classpath.

However, I want them to be NOT on the classpath because then I can make use of the feature where I can change something in the property files and it's reflected on the website immediately: Since application servers typically cache all files loaded from the classpath, it is necessary to store resources somewhere else (for example, in the "WEB-INF" directory of a web app). Otherwise changes of files in the classpath will not be reflected in the application.

The spring applicationContext is located there: /src/main/resources/spring/applicationContext.xmland loaded into the Junit test with these annotations:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(locations = {"classpath:/spring/applicationContext.xml"})

How can I get Junit to pick up those non-classpath resources as well?The property files are on /src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/i18n/*

Junit: 4.7.

Spring: 3.0.5.

I fixed my initial problem in the meantime.

Matthew's solution didn't help me - still very good input.And he couldn't know that I was using maven in my project since I never told.

However, within maven, I found a solution to my problem:

    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
      <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
      <configuration>
        <skipTests>true</skipTests>
        <additionalClasspathElements>
          <additionalClasspathElement>src\main\webapp\</additionalClasspathElement>
        </additionalClasspathElements>
      </configuration>
    </plugin>

I configured the surefire-plugin to pickup additional elements for the classpath.

It seems to me the simplest solution is just use a property which you override when junit is executing:

<bean id="messageSource"
 class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource">
  <property name="basenames">
    <list>
      <value>${path.prefix}/WEB-INF/i18n/errors</value>
      <value>${path.prefix}/WEB-INF/i18n/messages</value>
      <value>${path.prefix}/WEB-INF/i18n/links</value>
      <value>${path.prefix}/WEB-INF/i18n/forms</value>
      <value>${path.prefix}/WEB-INF/i18n/communication</value>
    </list>
  </property>
</bean>

You set the default value for this in the PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer

<bean id="propertyConfigurer" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
  <property name="systemPropertiesModeName" value="SYSTEM_PROPERTIES_MODE_OVERRIDE" />
  <property name="properties">
    <props>
      <prop key="path.prefix"></prop> <!-- empty -->
    </props>
  </property>
</bean>

This propertyConfigurer bean definition needs to be before the messageSource bean definition. In the junit tests, you can either:

set the property through using a different version of the propertyConfigurer specific to your tests, or
setting the system property through a -Doption on the command line or System.setProperty("path.prefix", "src/main/webapp") in your @Before.

Note that if you do (2), then Spring sometimes caches the values of system properties, so you can't subsequently change the system property. It uses the original value.
