I use EJB 3.1, JBOSS 6M4 and MAVEN, and I want to use the embeeded container for TestNG.

Jboss has splitted all these these jars and so my maven-dependeny libs shows me a lot of libs which is provided by:

<repository>
          <id>repository.jboss.org.nexus</id>
          <name>JBoss Repository 2</name>
          <url>http://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public-jboss/</url>
</repository>

<dependency>
           <groupId>org.jboss.spec</groupId>
           <artifactId>jboss-javaee-6.0</artifactId>
           <version>1.0.0.Beta6</version>
           <type>pom</type>
           <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

However, running the test throws a maven error as it needs also jsf 2. So we have to provide this to pom:

<repository>
          <id>maven2-repository.dev.java.net</id>
          <name>Java.net Repository for Maven</name>
          <url>http://download.java.net/maven/2</url>
</repository>

<dependency>
         <groupId>com.sun.faces</groupId>
         <artifactId>jsf-api</artifactId>
         <version>2.0.2</version>
         <type>pom</type>
         <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Note: with glassfish-embeeded, all these jars are included in ONE jar-file (which is very comfortable in compare to jboss-embeeded) so we only have to use this

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.glassfish.embedded</groupId>
        <artifactId>glassfish-embedded-all</artifactId>
        <version>3.0</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

However, I use jboss-embeeded.

My TestNG-Class:

import java.util.List

import javax.ejb.embeddable.EJBContainer;
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
import javax.persistence.PersistenceContext;

import org.testng.annotations.AfterClass;
import org.testng.annotations.BeforeClass;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

import com.MyBeanLocal;

import static org.testng.Assert.assertEquals;

public class MyTest
{
     @PersistenceContext EntityManager entityManager;

     private static EJBContainer ec;
     private static Context ctx;
    
      @BeforeClass
      public void setUp() {

          System.out.println(this.getClass().getSimpleName() + " test started:");
         
          ec = EJBContainer.createEJBContainer();
          ctx = ec.getContext();
      }
    
     @Test
     public void testGetUsers() throws Exception{

         MyBeanLocal ejb = (MyBeanLocal) ctx.lookup("java:global/MyBeanLocal ");
        
         System.out.println("users: ");

       // I want to invoke a database operation within my test-ng
         List<Users> e = ejb.getUsers();

       System.out.println("users: "+e.size);
         ..
     }
}

So you see, I have all the needed dependencies and want to run a little test to retrieve users from the database with jboss-embeeded ejb3.1 - but: it does not work, because my setup (EJBContainer.createEJBContainer()) is not working !

I get this error from maven:

Running MyTest
MyTest test started:
Tests run: 3, Failures: 1, Errors: 0, Skipped: 2, Time elapsed: 0.312 sec <<< FAILURE!

Results :

Failed tests:
  setUp(com.MyTest)

Tests run: 3, Failures: 1, Errors: 0, Skipped: 2

So you see, my setup is not working. Why?
