How to rollback a database transaction when testing services with Spring in JUnit?

Question

I have no problem testing my DAO and services, but when I test INSERTs or UPDATEs I want to rollback the transaction and not effect my database.

check out

http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/2.5.x/reference/testing.html

Section 8.3.4 in particular

Spring has some classes for testing that will wrap each test in a transaction, so the DB is not changed. You can change that functionality if you want too.

Edit -- based on your more infos, you might want to look at
