Class SeverityHandler

java.lang.Object
  net.sourceforge.sqlunit.handlers.SeverityHandler

All Implemented Interfaces:

IHandler

public class SeverityHandler
extends java.lang.Object
implements IHandler

The SeverityHandler processes the contents of the Severity tag in the input XML file. It decides whether the test's severity is equal or greater that a user-defined severity, which we will called the threshold severity. The decision is made following these rules:

1. If the current test's severity tag is not present or is empty, the the test matches and is executed;
2. The threshold severity is retrieved as well as the content of the current test's severity tag and the two values are compared. If the current test's severity is lower than the threshold severity, the test is skipped and is reported as skipped; if not it is executed.

The threshold severity is provided in one of the following ways, sorted by priority:

• As an ant property, called sqlunit.severity.threshold;
• As the value of the key ${sqlunit.severity.threshold} from the SymbolTable;
• As a System property named sqlunit.severity.threshold;
