Spring Projects Issues

**[Martin Flower](https://jira.spring.io/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=sylvestris)** commented Thanks Sam. At the moment I have the following abstract base classes ```java @ContextConfiguration(locations = {"/test-context.xml", "/test-db-context.xml", "/test-security-context.xml"}) public abstract class AbstractUnitTestWithDB extends AbstractTransactionalTestNGSpringContextTests { // Unfortunately...

**[Peter De Winter](https://jira.spring.io/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=mijathi)** commented Thanks [Sam Brannen](https://jira.spring.io/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=sbrannen). This was indeed a solution to our specific problem.

**[Sam Brannen](https://jira.spring.io/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=sbrannen)** commented [Martin Flower](https://jira.spring.io/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=sylvestris), if you've already got that code in static blocks, then there isn't really any functional difference between that and using an `@BeforeClass` method.

**[Sam Brannen](https://jira.spring.io/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=sbrannen)** commented [Peter De Winter](https://jira.spring.io/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=mijathi), I'm glad that little trick solves your problem!

**[Wim Deblauwe](https://jira.spring.io/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=wim.deblauwe)** commented Voting for this as I have this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41614368

**[Hussein Yapit](https://jira.spring.io/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=yapith)** commented Spring has been pretty consistent with runtime configuration (like system/env properties) trumping over compile-time config, except for this case. I argue it's a better design to allow...
