We need to have a Tumbler runner that extends SpringJUnit4ClassRunner, in order to wire the tests up with spring beans.

Can it be done?

Thanks

Look at https://code.google.com/p/tumbler-glass/wiki/IntroductionForDevelopers. At the bottom it has a short paragraph defining how to achieve it.

I am not very well versed in Spring internals, but this trick doesn't look
good to me. I think (I have to check it, though) that the spring context is
then loaded before every test method run, which is not always good (like in
the case of @DirtiesContext).

I believe that a new runner should be created, which subclasses
SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.
