Hi,

I'm pretty sure my problem has been solved already elsewhere but I cannot find it:

I have an app-scoped class EPaperSetup in which I inject an EntityManager. The component has a setup-method annotated with @Create where the entity manager is used. This works fine during the normal startup. When I use a SeamTest dreived class with testNG none of the injected components is there and I get a NullPointerException when accessing the entity manager.

Could point me in a direction?
What other info do you need?

Thanks a lot!

Here 's my code for EPaperSetup:

@Startup (depends="epaperConfiguration")
@Name("EPaperSetup")
@Scope(ScopeType.APPLICATION)
public class EPaperSetup{

...
@In
EntityManager entityManager;
...
@Create
public void setup() throws NoSuchAlgorithmException, UnsupportedEncodingException
{
    EntityTransaction t = entityManager.getTransaction();
...
}

}

The test:

public class ListUserRoleActionTestNG extends SeamTest {
  
     private EntityManagerFactory emf;
     private EntityManager em;
     
     
     @Test
     public void testGetUserRoles() throws Exception {
       new FacesRequest()
       {
            @Override
            protected void invokeApplication()
            {
                 invokeMethod("#{listUserRoleAction.userRoles}");
            }
       }.run();
     }

}

and the error:

FAILED CONFIGURATION: @BeforeSuite startSeam
org.jboss.seam.InstantiationException: Could not instantiate Seam component: EPaperSetup

As I said before, I'm pretty sure this is a newbie error and somebody solved it.
Thanks for your help and best regards,
