Best Practice for JUnit test with EJB3

[kevinvinsen]

I'd be interested to find out for people how they are testing their EJB3 code.

The way I'm doing it is seems cumbersome
1. Deploy a test version of the .ejb3 file that creates and drops the database
2. Populate the database (MySQL) using raw JDBC - not really a big deal as I use phpMyAdmin to export the data
3. Run my tests

Anyone got a better way?

Thanks
Kevin

Since I have EJB methods to store and retreive data, I connect to the deployed application from the junit tests and compare retrieval results with what I stored. I don't check what's in the database directly.

On the EJB interface, most of what I'm testing is business logic... does it respond correctly for the correct and incorrect data I feed it.
