Trouble with SeamTest when stateful session bean is annotate

[tuxzilla]

I couldn't get the SFSB to instantiate correctly in my SeamTest because the component startup was invoked before the embedded ejb container startup. Here is the error message:

org.jboss.seam.InstantiationException: Could not instantiate Seam component: companyList

Here is the log message after I disabled the @Startup annotation of the SFSB:

...

Is there a way I can postpone the startup of this EJB while keeping the @Startup annotation?

Thanks.

You can do

@Startup(depends={"orb.jboss.seam.core.ejb"})

I think.

Unfortunately it didn't work either. I removed the ejb annotations and made it a POJO. Then I injected entityManager using @In, I got a similar problem, the root of which is due to the micro-container (and the JNDI) not available before the starting up of the bean:

Never mind. On closer inspection, your solution of adding depends={"org.jboss.seam.core.ejb"} worked. Thanks.
