JBoss 7 Embedded

[gboro54]

When will jboss 7 be able to run embedded? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to possible accomplish this now? Right now I am running a mangaged instance but this seems a little heavy for a CI envrionment. Perhaps I am wrong....

TIA

We're running 3 AS7 managed instances at once on a small Amazone ec2 node on our CI system:

Basically the only overhead of Managed is another JVM. (which is what maven surefire does default btw..)

Aslak,

   I agree with the only cost is another JVM. I guess the cost I am worried about is maintaining a fully configured test envrionment as part fo the overall project. If we could programmitcally create modules(drivers) and data sources for testing I would be more inclined to be ok with using managed. Right now are script has to copy modules to the unpacked jboss envrionment.

Not sure how Embedded will change in that case. You still have to include all your modules /deployments  / datasources somehow..

This might help some, https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1337

Agreed. But I am hoping that this will be able to be accomplished programmatically somehow as well(atleast the datasource aspect). I will tell you that I have enjoyed testing my EJB/CDI code with Arquillian to date....
