Wrong Maven pom file for JBoss embedded ?

[chawax]

Hi,

I try to set up a JBoss embedded in a Maven 2 project, in order to use it for TestNG tests. I encountered classpath problems while starting the embedded server, and I am surprised nobody encoutered this since it is a problem with pom files on JBoss Maven repository !

To set up the embedded container, as suggested by this post by cory_prowse : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=126786
I put these dependencies at first place in my pom.xml file :

<dependency>
 <groupId>org.jboss.embedded</groupId>
 <artifactId>thirdparty-all</artifactId>
 <version>beta3</version>
 <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
 <groupId>org.jboss.embedded</groupId>
 <artifactId>hibernate-all</artifactId>
 <version>beta3</version>
 <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
 <groupId>org.jboss.embedded</groupId>
 <artifactId>jboss-embedded-all</artifactId>
 <version>beta3</version>
 <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

First problem

When I run mvn, it fails to resolve artifact org.jboss.embedded:jboss-embedded:jar:beta3-SNAPSHOT

The problem is that jboss-embedded-all-beta3.pom file contains a dependency to a jar that is not on the repository. The beta3 is on repository, but not beta3-SNAPSHOT !

Second problem

To solve the first problem, I changed this pom file to have a dependency to beta3. But now I have this error :

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.jboss.deployers.spi.structure.ContextInfo.getMetaDataPath()Ljava/util/List;
 at org.jboss.deployers.vfs.plugins.structure.VFSStructureBuilder.applyContextInfo(VFSStructureBuilder.java:93)
 at org.jboss.deployers.structure.spi.helpers.AbstractStructureBuilder.populateContext(AbstractStructureBuilder.java:73)
 ... 73 more

The problem is that jboss-embedded-beta3.pom has this dependency :

<groupId>org.jboss.microcontainer</groupId>
<artifactId>jboss-deployers-client-spi</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0.Beta6</version>

This causes a conflict with classes embedded in jboss-embedded-all ! So you have to exclude this dependency to make it work.

Finally my pom.xml file looks like this :

<dependency>
 <groupId>org.jboss.embedded</groupId>
 <artifactId>thirdparty-all</artifactId>
 <version>beta3</version>
 <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
 <groupId>org.jboss.embedded</groupId>
 <artifactId>hibernate-all</artifactId>
 <version>beta3</version>
 <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
 <groupId>org.jboss.embedded</groupId>
 <artifactId>jboss-embedded-all</artifactId>
 <version>beta3</version>
 <scope>provided</scope>
 <exclusions>
 <exclusion>
 <groupId>org.jboss.embedded</groupId>
 <artifactId>jboss-embedded</artifactId>
 </exclusion>
 </exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
 <groupId>org.jboss.embedded</groupId>
 <artifactId>jboss-embedded</artifactId>
 <version>beta3</version>
 <scope>provided</scope>
 <exclusions>
 <exclusion>
 <groupId>org.jboss.microcontainer</groupId>
 <artifactId>jboss-deployers-client-spi</artifactId>
 </exclusion>
 </exclusions>
</dependency>

I still can't make my tests work (JNDI problem), but now it looks like the server starts OK.

Is there a reason why I need to do this ? Or is it really a problem with files on JBoss Maven repository ?

Hi, i have the same problem. I'm trying to execute my ejb3 test cases on the embedded jboss container.

Since i'm using Eclipse to develop, i configure maven and eclipse for dependencies managment. Thats work's fine. If I execute the test case from Eclipse it works fine, but if i execute the command

mvn test

the test case failure. It looks like it could load the container but didn't deploy de EJB's. The stack trace is:

Tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 1, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 3.795 sec <<< FAILURE!
sayHello(service.impl.HelloWorldServiceImplTest) Time elapsed: 0.02 sec <<< ERROR!
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to find ejb for service.HelloWorldService
...
...
Caused by: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: HelloWorldService not bound
...
...

If you make it work please notify us.

Thanks!

Same problem here with dependency of jboss-embedded-all:beta3 from jboss-embedded:beta3-SNAPSHOT (which is not in jboss maven repository). I've just started with embedded jboss for junit testing, but I'm a little disappointed with project status (even if it's in "beta", sure it's "betta than nothing").
Anyway, guys, you making great thing, good luck!

Maybe help something like this: (written from head, not checked ;)

if (System.getProperty("eclipse.running") != null) {
scanClassPath("youproject/bin".replace("/", File.separator)
} else {
scanClassPath("yourjar.jar")
}
