Tips for improving performance with the Embedded EJB3 container.
Speedup JUnit Tests By Limiting bootup class scanning.
When bootstrapping the EJB3 container the tutorial guides you to the following:
EJB3StandaloneBootstrap.boot(null);
EJB3StandaloneBootstrap.deployXmlResource("jboss-jms-beans.xml");
EJB3StandaloneBootstrap.deployXmlResource("jboss-requestsvc-beans.xml");
EJB3StandaloneBootstrap.scanClasspath();
The last statement results in an exhaustive search of your classpath, which can take considerable time (the JRE rt.jar contains many classes!). On my machine (Dual Core, 3GHz, 2GB RAM, 10KRPM SATA disk) the exhaustive scan takes about 30 seconds.
You can narrow the search by specifying a Deployer that will only scan archives that contain a particular resource. To do so, you can use the class below. To use the class you need to:
Make sure that your compiled code contains the file META-INF/ejb-jar.xml. If you are using a project structured in the "maven" form, then put this file in the "[Project|project]/src/main/resources/META-INF" directory:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <ejb-jar xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/ejb-jar_3_0.xsd" version="3.0"> <!-- You don't need to list anything here, you can still use annotations. --> <!-- At the very least, however, have this blank file! --> </ejb-jar>
Now make sure whatever build process you are using puts copies the META-INF directory to the same location as your compiled production classes (again, if you are following the maven structure this will be "[Project|project]/target/main/build" directory).
Your test case should start out like this:
public class MyEJBTestCase
extends TestCase
{
public static Test suite()
throws Exception
{
return EmbeddedJBossEJB3TestCaseHelper.embeddedEjb3TestSuite(
MyEJBTestCase.class);
// Call this way if you need to load any extra resources
// return EmbeddedJBossEJB3TestCaseHelper.embeddedEjb3TestSuite(
// MyEJBTestCase.class, new String[] {"myresources-beans.xml"});
}
}
Add this class to your test sources:
import junit.extensions.TestSetup;
import junit.framework.Test;
import junit.framework.TestCase;
import junit.framework.TestSuite;
import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;
import org.jboss.ejb3.embedded.EJB3StandaloneBootstrap;
import org.jboss.ejb3.embedded.EJB3StandaloneDeployer;
