Hello,

   My project is appFuse backend only (not modular). I am trying to add the
following method to BaseObject so that "Date createdTimestamp" field (also
defined in BaseObject) would automatically get populated. 

        @PrePersist
        private void fillCreatedTimestamp(){
                this.createdTimestamp = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
        }

When I run the test cases via running "mvn", this method gets called but I
have faced some confusion:

1. In "UserManagerImplTest".testSaveUser(), right after saving user when I
test the user.getCreatedTimestamp() it reads null

2. If I create another POJO say Address and corresponding DAO, Service and
test cases and run "mvn" the test shows that the field gets populated.
[I'm not quite sure if this difference is because UserSecurityAdvice or not]

3. No matter what, I don't see the saved object in database. 

I have a feeling that test cases is not touching the actual database where
the tables are created and all the initial data in sample-data.xml is
loaded, am I right?  We grab an entity from the populated database and
manipulate a field and the test cases prove that the field has changed but
does it actually affect the database. If not, how can I actually change the
data through test cases ( I know this is not  desired but for my sanity)

In the process of debugging this issue I have another confusion:
 I put a simple log statement in "GenericManagerImpl": save() 
   public T save(T object) {
        System.out.println("Something")
        return dao.save(object);
    }
and ran "mvn". There is no sign of "save" actually getting called although
all managers supposedly extend this class and hence should be calling this
method in order to save.

Of course it would really help if I could run the test cases individually
through Eclipse "Debug as test" but the only topic in forum I found was
related to Ant not Maven or Eclipse setUp

Any help would be greatly appreciated 
Thank,
Arash

Here is my sample AddressDaoTest class

public class AddressDaoTest extends BaseDaoTestCase {

        @Autowired
        private IAddressDao addressDao;

        @Test
        public void testSaveAddress(){
                Address address = new Address();
                address.setStreet("5104 Old Street");
                address.setCity("Santa Clara");
                address.setState("CA");
                address.setZip("94040");
                
                Address savedAddress;
                savedAddress = addressDao.save(address);
                assertNotNull(savedAddress.getId());
                assertNotNull(savedAddress.getCreatedTimestamp());
        }

        @Test
        public void testExists() throws Exception {
                Long id = new Long(1);
                assertTrue(addressDao.exists(id));
        }
}
