I am using unitils for testing. I see more than 90 spring context refresh messages in the failsafe test reports. I need to know how much time is taken to initialize these spring contexts. Unitils does not have proper logging, so not able to track it with framework logs.
The @SpringApplicationContext is on top of the test class, so cannot go for logger in my own test class
Writing an advice or aware class or an interceptor will not help, as all these classes has to be registered in the spring xml and those beans which are registered in spring xml will be loaded only after the context is initialized
Writing an application listener class, we can catch only the ContextRefreshedEvent, that is when the context in loaded not initialized.
Cannot catch the ContextStartedEvent because it is published when the ApplicationContext is started using the start() method on the ConfigurableApplicationContext interface. Whereas unitils dynamically creates new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(..,..); to create the spring context (class:org.unitils.spring.util.ClassPathXmlApplicationContextFactory)
How do I calculate spring context initialization time?
What about simple log4j logger? When logging Spring info logs you can see ContexLoader initialization time.
