How to Load @ContextConfiguration for a class other than SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class?

Question

I'm using this API I found online which suits exactly my purpose, but it uses its own runner and doesn't allow me to use Spring's own, which leads to plethora of problems. How do I load a context in that file?

I want to load some beans related to DAO btw, is that possible without @ContextConfiguration?

you could post your code that it is not working , otherwise you ll not get so helpful answers. Anyway you could wire the Context Manually in your Before Tests method like here — AntJavaDev

See stackoverflow.com/questions/24431427/… for some ideas. Particularly, seeing what this API's runner actually does - you might be able to do all its work by calling methods in @BeforeClass instead; leaving you free to use Spring's runner. Or have a look at JUnit5, which I've heard takes a different approach; effectively allowing multiple runners. — David Lavender

As suggested in comments: instead of using the Spring JUnit runner, you can use JUnit 4 Rules with the @Rule / @ClassRule annotations. Awkwardly, you have to use both a class level and a method level rule, to get the full functionality:

@ClassRule public static final SpringClassRule SPRING_CLASS_RULE = new SpringClassRule(); @Rule public final SpringMethodRule springMethodRule = new SpringMethodRule();
