Expecting a RollbackException in a Persistence test?

[xiumeteo]

Hi, i'm using Arquillian with Persistence Extension 1.0.0alpha6 and i trying to test a double insertion on database, so when i persist an entity i must receive a RollbackException cause there is an object previously inserted, but since the insertion is using the same transaction as APE when i call persist the Rollback is catched by APE and i never chatch any exception...

My question is...is there another approach to do this, o is there imposible with APE??

Here is my test-code

@RunWith( Arquillian.class )

public class AppTestIssue6 {

    @Inject

    App app1;

    @PersistenceContext

    EntityManager manager;

    @javax.annotation.Resource

    UserTransaction transaction;

    @Deployment(  )

    public static Archive<?> createDeployment() {

        return ShrinkWrap.create(WebArchive.class, "test.war")

                .addPackage(App.class.getPackage())              

                .addAsResource("persistence_local.xml", "META-INF/persistence.xml")

                .addAsWebInfResource(EmptyAsset.INSTANCE, "beans.xml");

    }

    @Cleanup( phase = TestExecutionPhase.BEFORE )

    @UsingDataSet( "applications_populate.yml" )

    @Test( expected = RollbackException.class )

    public void testpersistWithaUsingDataSet() {       

        //transaction.begin();

        App app = new App();

        app.setAppName("prueba1");

        app.setDescription("prueba-java");

        app.setCreatedAt(new Date());

        app.setModifiedAt(new Date());       

        manager.persist(app);

        //transaction.commit();

        //transaction.commit();

    }

}

You can always use programmatic transaction demarcation. Simply @Inject UserTransaction and turn off APE-provided by using @Transactional(NONE).

However I don't personally see a lot of value in such a test case, because what you are effectively testing is if ORM/DB code works with transactions and guarantees data consistency, which is not really your application responsibility anyway (that's what container provides).
