I use GAE with Spring and Maven as well, but I'm using the low-level Entity API instead of JPA. I think the GAE JUnit test classes may be useful for your development... not sure if this is what you were looking for, but I hope it is somewhat useful...
Example JUnit test class: http://goo.gl/dn9ka In this example I am setting up the datastore to contain entities that I will be querying for through my spring MVC controller. GAE docs: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/tools/localunittesting.html Test harness classes: import com.google.appengine.tools.development.testing.LocalDatastoreServiceTestConfig; import com.google.appengine.tools.development.testing.LocalServiceTestHelper; import com.google.appengine.tools.development.testing.LocalUserServiceTestConfig; Maven Dependencies: <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>com.google.appengine</groupId> <artifactId>appengine-testing</artifactId> <version>1.4.2</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>com.google.appengine</groupId> <artifactId>appengine-api-stubs</artifactId> <version>1.4.2</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> Hector On Feb 27, 4:43 am, DavidFM <more...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I'm totally newbie in GAE, and I come from a relational database > system... > > I'm using JPA for persistence just because I'm used to working with > Hibernate... > > I have main doubts which are prevening me from figuring out all the > GAE stuff: > > I just complete an example application which runs locally with maven > GAE plugin (mvn gae:run) and I'm testing some persistence stuff. > > My issue (ignorance) comes from the fact that in one execution I > insert, for example, two users, and in the following I would like to > query them: between executions I don't have "persistence", I have to > insert them again. > > The question is basically how to "explore" the datastore locally, > without deploying in GAE, during the development phase, and get some > data inserted and "maintain" this data between the hundreds of > executions needed to test and develop the app. > > There has to be some file/s with the data (locally) and populate it > with example data, along with the information I am incorporating > through the forms of the application > > I'm not sure if I've explained it well, but I just want to try my > application locally using maven plugin and get the data "persisted" > without having to insert the same entities over and over again. > > Thanks in advance, > > David -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
