test on ejb3 with junit by eclipse

[folal]

Dear all,

I want to write JUnit Tests for my EJB3.0 SessionBeans. How do I access the
application server?

InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(); bean = (BeanInterface) ctx.lookup("...");

does not work since the initial context cannot be resolved
(javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Need to specify class name in
environment or system property, or as an applet parameter, or in an application
resource file: java.naming.factory.initial).

Obvoiusly, for the same reason, dependency injection doesn't work either: @EJB BeanInterface bean;

What do I have to do?

Best regards
Alan

Hi Alan,

for using Dependeny injection in your Unit Tests (which are actually application clients), you have to do some very special tasks to start it. Here is a doc which describes the required steps for a standalone application client: http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/HowtouseanapplicationclientinJBoss-5

But I fear this cannot be applied to JUnit, as you cannot use "org.jboss.client.AppClientMain" to run a test.

So I think you have to perform a JNDI lookup in the JUnit tests.

Best regards
