Public static class as EJB not recognized by Arq/JBoss 7

[pedrokowalski]

Howdy Guys!

It seems that Arquillian is not able to access EJB's defined as a static classes. What I mean is if you have the following part of the Arquillian test:

@RunWith(Arquillian.class)
public class GenericCrudBeanIT {

    @EJB
    TestingCRUDBean cut;

and assuming that TestingCRUDBean is defined as follows:

@Stateless
@TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRES_NEW)
public class TransactionalBean {

    public void call(Callable<?> toInvoke) throws Exception {
        toInvoke.call();
    }

    @Stateless
    public static class TestingCRUDBean extends GenericCrudBean<Long, TestingEntity> {

    }
}

Arquillian will see 'null' as a value of 'cut' variable. However, if the TestingCRUDBean will be set as a separate class in it's own file - it works fine.

I think that EJB's defined as public static inner classes should be recognized and injected properly, as they are properly resolved when deployed directly in AS 7 or GF-3.1.1.

WDYT?

If they are deployed ok in the server, then it's just a lookup failure of the @EJB Enricher in arquillian, which is basically just randonmly guessing if you don't specify mappedName.

Have you tried @EJB(mappedName="jndi-name") on the Injection point?

[pedrokowalski]

Yea, it worked out when you specify the mappedName.

Didn't think about it, because during earlier tests, Arq plainly said that he's not able to inject members.

In this case it was just throwing a NullPointerException thrown.

[aslak]

Yea, this changed in the CR versions. Previously each Enricher threw a Exception if they couldn't inject it's members, but multiple Enrichers may now act upon the same InjectionPoints, e.g. EJBEnricher and CDIEnricher can handle @EJB, and the order of execution is undefined.

This needs a more solid impl tho, it should know which enricher tried what and failed where, and fail it all if non of them managed.

Currently Enrichers only log on log level fine if they can't inject.

[pedrokowalski]

Ok, so right now there isn't any "manager" component which handles such situation (when none of the enrichers worked)?

Currently, do you have to declare which enrichers are handling which annotations, or all of the enrichers works (by default) on all annotations?

Is there an appropriate JIRA ARQ for this situations?

TIA

Cheers!
