starting and stopping hsqldb from unit tests

Question

I\'m trying to create integration tests using hsqldb in an in memory mode. At the moment, I have to start the hsqldb server from the command line before running the unit tests.

Answer 1

I use the following configuration (directly inspired by the Hibernate tutorial) without any problem:

  

    
    
    
    
    

    
    1

    
    

    
    thread

    
    org.hibernate.cache.NoCacheProvider

    
    true

    
    

    

  

When using an in-memory HSQLDB, there is no need to start anything explicitly. Just use the mem: protocol and the in-memory database will get started from JDBC.
