Deployment of JavaArchive not supported by arquillian-was-remote-8?

[dokaspar]

Hi,

I tried to use the Websphere container adapter (arquillian-was-remote-8) to deploy a simple Jar file by following the Getting Started · Arquillian Guides tutorial.

However, I keep running into an exception that is caused by code in the arquillian-was-remote adapter itself (see line 205 in http://tinyurl.com/arquillian-was-remote).

[junit]

Caused an ERROR

    [junit] Unsupported archive type has been provided for deployment: org.jboss.shrinkwrap.impl.base.spec.JavaArchiveImpl

    [junit] org.jboss.arquillian.container.spi.client.container.DeploymentException: Unsupported archive type has been provided for deployment: org.jboss.shrinkwrap.impl.base.spec.JavaArchiveImpl

[junit]

at org.jboss.arquillian.container.was.remote_8.WebSphereRemoteContainer.deploy(WebSphereRemoteContainer.java:205)

Does the arquillian-was-remote adapter only support WAR and EAR deployment? But not JAR deploment?

Regards,

Dominik

I think so. I experienced the same and changed the createDeployment() method to return an EAR:

  @Deployment
  public static EnterpriseArchive createDeployment() {
    
          EnterpriseArchive ear = ShrinkWrap.create(EnterpriseArchive.class, "application-ear.ear")
                                .as(ZipImporter.class)
                                .importFrom(new File("../folder/target/package-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.ear"))
                                .as(EnterpriseArchive.class);

          JavaArchive testLibraryHelper = ShrinkWrap.create(JavaArchive.class)
                                        .addClass(YourTestClass.class)
                                        //for CDI 
                                        .addAsManifestResource(EmptyAsset.INSTANCE, "beans.xml");
          ear.addAsLibrary(testLibraryHelper);
    return ear;
  }

Since I had to import too much stuff into the EAR I used the existing EAR and just added the Test.jar afterwards...

After that the error was gone...
