Class MultiSchemaXmlDataSetReader

java.lang.Object
  org.unitils.dbunit.util.MultiSchemaXmlDataSetReader

public class MultiSchemaXmlDataSetReader
extends Object

A reader for DbUnit xml datasets that creates a new ITable instance for each element (row).

Following format is expected:

 <dataset>
      <first_table  myColumn1="value1" myColumn2="value2" />
      <second_table myColumnA="A" />
      <first_table  myColumn2="other value2" />
      <empty_table />
 </dataset>
 

Elements for a table may occur more than once and anywhere in the data set. If multiple elements exist, they may specify different attributes (columns). Missing attributes (columns) will be treated as null values.

Namespaces can be used to specify tables from different database schemas. The namespace URI should contain the name of the database schema:

 <dataset xmlns="SCHEMA_A" xmlns:b="SCHEMA_B">
      <first_table  myColumn1="value1" myColumn2="value2" />
      <b:second_table myColumnA="A" />
      <first_table  myColumn2="other value2" />
      <empty_table />
 </dataset>
 

This example defines 2 schemas: SCHEMA_A and SCHEMA_B. The first schema is set as default schema (=default namespace). The 'first_table' table has no namespce and is therefore linked to SCHEMA_A. The 'second_table' table is prefixed with namespace b which is linked to SCHEMA_B. If no default namespace is defined, the schema that is passed as constructor argument is taken as default schema.
