Sam Brannen d1b1c4f888 Introduce JUnit Rule alternative to SpringJUnit4ClassRunner Since Spring Framework 2.5, support for integrating the Spring TestContext Framework (TCF) into JUnit 4 based tests has been provided via the SpringJUnit4ClassRunner, but this approach precludes the ability for tests to be run with alternative runners like JUnit's Parameterized or third-party runners such as the MockitoJUnitRunner. This commit remedies this situation by introducing @ClassRule and @Rule based alternatives to the SpringJUnit4ClassRunner. These rules are independent of any Runner and can therefore be combined with alternative runners. Due to the limitations of JUnit's implementation of rules, as of JUnit 4.12 it is currently impossible to create a single rule that can be applied both at the class level and at the method level (with access to the test instance). Consequently, this commit introduces the following two rules that must be used together. - SpringClassRule: a JUnit TestRule that provides the class-level functionality of the TCF to JUnit-based tests - SpringMethodRule: a JUnit MethodRule that provides the instance-level and method-level functionality of the TCF to JUnit-based tests In addition, this commit also introduces the following new JUnit Statements for use with rules: - RunPrepareTestInstanceCallbacks - ProfileValueChecker Issue: SPR-7731	11 years ago

Sam Brannen d1b1c4f888 Introduce JUnit Rule alternative to SpringJUnit4ClassRunner

Since Spring Framework 2.5, support for integrating the Spring
TestContext Framework (TCF) into JUnit 4 based tests has been provided
via the SpringJUnit4ClassRunner, but this approach precludes the
ability for tests to be run with alternative runners like JUnit's
Parameterized or third-party runners such as the MockitoJUnitRunner.

This commit remedies this situation by introducing @ClassRule and @Rule
based alternatives to the SpringJUnit4ClassRunner. These rules are
independent of any Runner and can therefore be combined with
alternative runners.

Due to the limitations of JUnit's implementation of rules, as of JUnit
4.12 it is currently impossible to create a single rule that can be
applied both at the class level and at the method level (with access to
the test instance). Consequently, this commit introduces the following
two rules that must be used together.

 - SpringClassRule: a JUnit TestRule that provides the class-level
   functionality of the TCF to JUnit-based tests

 - SpringMethodRule: a JUnit MethodRule that provides the
   instance-level and method-level functionality of the TCF to
   JUnit-based tests

In addition, this commit also introduces the following new JUnit
Statements for use with rules:

 - RunPrepareTestInstanceCallbacks

 - ProfileValueChecker
