Creating Mock for identity component
I am unable to mock the Identity component (so that I can bypass authentication and permission checking in testing).
I am using SeamTest and in the FacesRequest I am calling my ping component:
public class PingTest extends SeamTest {
@Test(groups = { "dev" })
public void test() throws Exception {
new FacesRequest() {
@Override
protected void invokeApplication() {
//call action methods here
invokeMethod("#{ping.ping}");
}
}.run();
}
}
ping is a Seam component that uses Restrict:
@Stateless
@Name("ping")
@Restrict("#{identity.loggedIn}")
public class PingAction implements Ping {
...
public void ping() {
...
}
...
}
I am trying to mock the identity component like this:
@Name("identity")
@Install(precedence=Install.MOCK)
public class Identity extends org.jboss.seam.security.RuleBasedIdentity {
public boolean isLoggedIn() {
return true;
}
}
When I run the tests it throws this exception:

Mocking my own components (for example ping) works very well, so I don't understand why this throws an exception...
