Nullpointer on ClientConnectionOpenListener

[wolowizard]

Hi.

I am trying to set up some integration testing on a legacy webservice app (to get the refactoring going) and arquillian is looking promising, but I have a bit of an issue.

What I do is this:

- Create a profile for integration testing

- Download JBoss locally

- Try to run a simple test using arquillian

Here is how the pom-profile looks:

{code:xml}
<profiles>
    <profile>
        <id>itest</id>
        <build>
            <plugins>
                <plugin>

                            </configuration>
                        </execution>
                    </executions>
                </plugin>

                </plugin>
            </plugins>
        </build>
        <dependencies>
            <dependency>

                <type>pom</type>
                <scope>provided</scope>
            </dependency>
            <dependency>

                <artifactId>jboss-as-arquillian-container-managed</artifactId>
                <version>7.0.2.Final</version>
                <scope>test</scope>
            </dependency>
        </dependencies>
    </profile>
</profiles>
{code}

In addition, I have an arquillian.xml-file that says where the local jboss is installed (target/jboss-7.1.1)

I then run "mvn -Pitest install"

Download, unpack, startup and deploy seems to work like a charm, then I get a problem:

I suspect it has to do with the version of the "jboss-as-arquillian-container-managed"-plugin, but not sure. Is there a newer version out or is there another fix?

Thanks in advance.

The jboss-as-arquillian-container-managed artifact is released by the JBoss AS team so it should have the same versions as AS7.

While it's in theory possible to run them with different versions I would recommend not to.

If you hvae a 7.1.1 v. of AS7 use a 7.1.1 v. of the plugin

[dan.j.allen]

I think we should encourage the AS 7 team to add a validation check to their Arquillian adapter that the remote container matches the adapter. Since the adapter is released with the distribution, there is no reason they should be different. If nothing else, the adapter should issue a warning.
