SeamTest NoInitialContextException

bartw Sep 30, 2009 10:38 AM

Hi, I am a seam greenhorn so it is very likely that the following is rather a trivial problem, if so sorry for this, but still I am unable to figure it out looking at seam examples. I am trying to write an integration test using SeamTest embedded jboss mode. Project is built using maven, seam version 2.2.0.GA, tests use testng. Test itself does not contain any logic at the moment, it is just:

@Test
    public void testNothing() throws Exception {

        new FacesRequest("/category.xhtml") {

            @Override
            protected void updateModelValues() {

            }

            @Override
            protected void invokeApplication() {

            }

            @Override
            protected void renderResponse() throws Exception {
                
            }
        }.run();
    }

View category.xhtml is a home view for component CategoryHome managing simple entity called Category, containg only one simple string field.
Project consists of 4 modules, ear, ejb, war and model. Above test is placed in war module. No special configuration files (in context of tests) have been added besides of persistence.xml (model module, src/test/META-INF/persistence.xml):

<persistence-unit name="invoices-PersistenceUnit">
      <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
      <jta-data-source>java:/DefaultDS</jta-data-source>
      <properties>
         <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="create-drop"/>
         <property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true"/>
         <property name="hibernate.cache.use_second_level_cache" value="false"/>
         <property name="hibernate.transaction.manager_lookup_class" value="org.hibernate.transaction.JBossTransactionManagerLookup"/>
      </properties>
   </persistence-unit>

After test is executed, following stacktrace can be obeserved:

Might be a problem with your components.xml and its settings relevant to transactions and JNDI. Post that file.

Also, put a breakpoint where it fails and dig around.

Jean Luc , thanks for your reply, here is my components.xml :

<component name="org.jboss.seam.core.init">
    <property name="debug">${seam.debug}</property>
    <property name="jndiPattern">${ear.artifactId}-${version}/#{ejbName}/local
    </property>
  </component>

  <core:manager concurrent-request-timeout="500"
      conversation-timeout="120000"
      conversation-id-parameter="cid"
      parent-conversation-id-parameter="pid"/>

  <!-- Make sure this URL pattern is the same as that used by the Faces Servlet -->
  <web:hot-deploy-filter url-pattern="*.seam"/>

  <persistence:managed-persistence-context name="entityManager" auto-create="true"
      persistence-unit-jndi-name="java:/invoices-EntityManagerFactory"/>

  <mail:mail-session host="dns.consol.pl" port="25" username="rafal2" password="consol"/>

  <security:identity authenticate-method="#{authenticator.authenticate}" remember-me="true"/>

.......
here some standard home components declarations etc

Hmm.. similar to mine but not identical... for the embedded server try #{ejbName}/local only, IIRC there is something different about it with regards to JNDI lookups. That's what I use for the test server.

Another minor difference which I don't believe makes a difference is that I use <core:init ...> instead of <component name="org.jboss.seam.core.init">...

Ok, my fault, sorry for bothering, I had jboss-embedded dependencies messed up, I rewrite them and all works like a charm.

Thanks for help :)
