Help with entity test

[paulmkeogh]

Hi,

Can someone point me at an example of how to test an entity component using Seam managed persistence under testng ?

And...

An example of how to write an integration test where the Seam component under test contains a foreign key.

Thank you.

Managed to answer the first part of my question... here it is;

public class TestCDREntity extends SeamTest {
     @Test
     public void testSingleCDRParse () throws Exception {
        new ComponentTest() {
                 protected void testComponents() throws Exception {
                      EntityManager em = (EntityManager) Component.getInstance("entityManager");
                    
                     UserTransaction tx = Transaction.instance();
                     tx.begin();
                    
                        Cdr entity = new Cdr();
                        CdrId id = new CdrId();
                       
                        id.setXXX("123");
                       
                        entity.setId(id);
                        entity.setYYY(3);

                        tx.commit();
                       
                        assert(entity.getId() != null);
                    
                        em.close();
                    }
        }.run();
     }
}

I didn't need to change anything under test as generated - the explcit support for Tx is required because the test config doesn't support JTA Txs by default.

Wouldn't it be something quite similar to what you've done in the first test? you'd need to create and persist both objects though:

ReferencedComponent refComp = new ReferencedComponent();
refCompt.setBlaBlaBla("anything you need to set");
//...
//save refComp

YourComponent comp = new YourComponent();
comp.setBla("whatever");
//...
comp.setReferencedComponent(refComp);
//save comp

Is this what you were asking about?
