User Arquillian to test restful service with Alternative CDI

[casta_oh]

Hi all.

I need to use arquillian to test one EJB @Stateless configured as restful service that has inside him one cdi inyection of a second EJB. This second EJB goes to osb and returns a list of strings. For my test, I don´t want to go to OSB because I want to isolate my test environment with other environments.

So, to achieve this I have managed to make an alternative of CDI for this second EJB in my test file. The CDI @Alternative returns always the same list string. In this way, I can test my EJB without depending the ways the EJB goes.

This works cool when I call the EJB with Arquillian and CDI inyection (without using @RunAsClient)

Sample code of my alternative:

@Produces
  @AlternativeFactory
  public XXXEJB produceIntervinientesMock() throws Exception {
           
    IntervinientesEJB intervinientes = mock(IntervinientesEJB.class);

Sample code of my @Deployment:

@Deployment
    public static Archive<?> createTestArchive() {
  WebArchive war = ShrinkWrap.create(WebArchive.class, "test.war")
        .addClass(Logger.class)
        .addClass(MiscResourceProducer.class)
        .addClass(IntervinientesRS.class)
                .addClass(AbstractBaseRS.class)
                .addClass(JaxRsActivation.class)
        .addClass(IntervinientesEJB.class)
                .addAsWebInfResource("beans.xml");
        System.out.println(war.toString(true));
        return war;


    }

The beans.xml has the alternative pre-configured (@AlternativeFactory).

Sample code of the test in which works the alternative:

@Test
  public void getListIntervinientesSSOMockTest() throws BusinessException, Exception {

//CODE REMOVED
  StringList list = intervinientesRS.getListIntervinientes(0);
  Assert.assertNotNull(list);
  

  }

The alternative works fine. I can access the EJB inyected via CDI and obtain the alternative.

The problem is when I want to test this, but in client mode. I want to access the EJB in client mode, and when the function goes to the EJB, obtain the @Alternative, instead of the proper EJB.

Questions are,

1. Is it possible? Alternative works in a test that is not @RunAsClient. I am calling outside the war.

2. If it is not possible, is well focused my approach?

Regards in advantaje.

Hi all.

I solved it.

The alternative was not executed because it was located inside my test class, inside the war deployed with arquillian.

@Produces  
  @AlternativeFactory  
  public XXXEJB produceIntervinientesMock() throws Exception {  
             
    IntervinientesEJB intervinientes = mock(IntervinientesEJB.class);  

So, we moved it inside a class inside srr/main/ and imported this class with arquillian. Once done it, the alternative worked and we could test our rest service from @RunAsClient with CDI Alternative and Arquillian.

Thanks.
