How to use CodePro Analytix with Spring MVC project for jUnit generation?

Question

We are evaluating CodePro analytix to generate jUnits. We are working on a web project in spring3.0. As of now CodePro is generating useless jUnits. It generates identical testcase. ( I have already specified spring-test.jar as the manual suggests ).

If you have used this tool for jUnit generation in Spring project, then please help. I assume we have to specify our spring-configuration xml somewhere or else how it will get to know about DI. Also, we might require to mock few of the required object, not sure though.

Once done the codepro plugin setup, Right Click on the class or package ->select generate Junit test cases.

It will generate test class for your class. Then inside setup method you have to set the spring config XML.

ServiceFacadeImpl.Java:

public class ServiceFacadeImpl implements ServiceFacade {

        private ServiceDAO serviceDAO;

        @Override
        public ServiceVO getService(int serviceId) {
            return (ServiceVO) serviceDAO.getById(serviceId);
        }

        @Override
        public List<ServiceVO> getServices() {
            String criteria = " WHERE activeSwitch='Y' ORDER BY lastUpdatedDt DESC";
            return (List<ServiceVO>) serviceDAO.getAll(criteria);
        }
        /**
         * @return the serviceDAO
         */
        public ServiceDAO getServiceDAO() {
            return serviceDAO;
        }

        /**
         * @param serviceDAO
         *            the serviceDAO to set
         */
        public void setServiceDAO(ServiceDAO serviceDAO) {
            this.serviceDAO = serviceDAO;
        }   
    }

    private ServiceFacadeImpl serviceFacadeImpl;
    ServiceFacadeImpl fixture = null;
    /**

    @Test
    public void testGetService_1() throws Exception {
        List<ServiceVO> result = fixture.getServices();
        int serviceId = 0;      
        ServiceVO result1 = fixture.getService(1);
        assertNotNull(result1);
    }

    }

        this.setServiceFacadeImpl((ServiceFacadeImpl) new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(
                "applicationContext-facade.xml").getBean("serviceFacade"));
        fixture = this.getServiceFacadeImpl();
    }

    @After
    public void tearDown() throws Exception {
        // Add additional tear down code here
    }

    /**

     *            the command line arguments
     *

     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new org.junit.runner.JUnitCore().run(ServiceFacadeImplTest.class);
    }

    /**
     * @return the serviceFacadeImpl
     */
    public ServiceFacadeImpl getServiceFacadeImpl() {
        return serviceFacadeImpl;
    }

    /**
     * @param serviceFacadeImpl
     *            the serviceFacadeImpl to set
     */
    public void setServiceFacadeImpl(ServiceFacadeImpl serviceFacadeImpl) {
        this.serviceFacadeImpl = serviceFacadeImpl;
    }
}

In the setup() method, we have to load the spring config xml, the above one i have loaded applicationContext-facade.xml
