@BeforeClass and inheritance - order of execution

Question

I have an abstract base class, which I use as a base for my unit tests (TestNG 5.10). In this class, I initialize the whole environment for my tests, setting up database map

Answer 1

This works for me --

abstract class A {
    @BeforeClass
    doInitialization() {...}
}

class B extends A {
    @Override
    @BeforeClass
    doInitialization() { 

       //do class specific init

    }   

    @Test
    doTests() {...}
}
