I have a SLSB deployed on JBoss 4.0.5.GA with the EJB 3.0_RC9 Patch. I've written a JUnit class to make calls to the session bean.

Session Bean Interface

package com.gan.visuality.security.service;

public interface SecurityService {
 public SessionId authenticate(String callerId, String password);
}

Session Bean

package com.gan.visuality.security.service;

import javax.ejb.*;
import javax.persistence.*;

@Stateless(name="SecurityService")
@Remote
public class SecurityServiceBean implements SecurityService {
 @PersistenceContext
 protected EntityManager em;

 public SecurityServiceBean(){
 }

 public SessionId authenticate(String callerId, String password){
 return null;
 }
}

JUnit Test Class

package test.com.gan.visuality.security.service;

import static org.junit.Assert.*;

import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;

import javax.ejb.EJB;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;

import com.gan.visuality.security.service.SecurityService;

public class SecurityServiceTest extends junit.framework.TestCase {
 @EJB
 static SecurityService service;

 private static InitialContext ctx;
 private static SessionId sessId;

 @Before
 public void setUp() throws Exception {
 ctx = new InitialContext();
 service = (SecurityService) ctx.lookup("gan_server_g2/SecurityService/remote");
 }

 @Test
 public void testAuthenticate() {
 sessId = service.authenticate("testuser", "testpassword");
 assertNotNull("Session is not null: ", sessId);
 }
}

When I run the test I get the following:

Testcase: testAuthenticate took 0.453 sec
Caused an ERROR

The Interceptor class is in a server deployment jar. I'm a bit unclear why the client application would be looking for it. Any ideas?

Thanks

I copied jboss-aop-jdk50.jar and jboss-aspect-library-jdk50.jar from <jboss_home>/server/default/deploy/jboss-aop-jdk50.deployer and made them available to my unit tests. Now it works fine.

Are these jars needed by client applications when running jdk5.0? If so perhaps they should go into the <jboss_home>/client directory?

So i've got the same problem in the past.
The problem is due to the lack of some class in classpath of your client.

So you have to add to your class path the jar file present in
$JBOSS_HOME/client/jbossall-client.jar
and
$JBOSS_HOME/client/jboss-aop-jdk50-client.jar
