Help unit testing Spring + Seam

[cperez]

Hi,

I am new to Seam and I am working in a web application using Seam, JPA and Spring. I have followed the Tutorial to integrate Spring and Seam in the Seam in Action Book - Chapter 15.

I am able to start Seam and the Spring context but I actually have no idea how to create a simple unit test with either JUnit or TestNG. There are no examples available as far as I know in the book.

I used to do all my testing with the Spring JUnit 4 runner:

public class SomeTest{
    @Autowire
    MyService service;

    @Transactional
    public void testSomething(){
        service.myMethod();
    }
}

now I am trying:

public class IntTest extends SeamTest
{
    @Autowired
    public PersistenceService<User, String> service;
    
    @Test
    public void injectionTest() throws Exception{
        service.findById("cesar");
    }
}

but I always get a NullPointerException because the service is not injected, I have also tried inserting an EntityManager with the @PersistenceContext annotation in the Test class but it has the same result. I have also tried the @In annotation without success. The service is a seam component as I need it in a conversation scope.

My Spring configuration is fine as it is exactly a copy/paste from the book and I have no problems starting the context, I just have no idea how to test this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
