    FYI: Arquillian GlassFish containers 1.0.0.CR3 and the "contextRoot must not be null" message

      This is a general note to help people finding the same exception on 1.0.0.CR3 of the Arquillian GlassFish containers, against GlassFish 3.1.2.

       

      I've noticed the following exception thrown during deployment of an EnterpriseArchive, using Arquillian:

      The snippet of code responsible for this is similar to:

       

      @Deployment(testable=false)
      public static EnterpriseArchive createDeployment()
      {
          JavaArchive ejbArchive = ShrinkWrap.create(JavaArchive.class, "galleria-ejb.jar")
                  .addPackage("info.galleria.domain")
                  ...
                  ...
       
          WebArchive webArchive = ShrinkWrap
                  .create(WebArchive.class, "galleria-jsf.war")
                  .setWebXML(new File("src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml"))
                  ....
                  ....
       
          EnterpriseArchive enterpriseArchive = ShrinkWrap
                  .create(EnterpriseArchive.class, "galleria.ear")
                  .addAsModule(webArchive)
                  .addAsModule(ejbArchive)
                  ....

          return enterpriseArchive;
      }

       

      The peculiar thing about this exception is that it seems to occur when a module within an EnterpriseArchive contains the same name (or start with, I think) as the Enterprise Archive itself. This results in the list-sub-components command returning some weird results when queried for the list of servlets.

       

      For now, anyone encountering this exception can work around this by attempting to rename the modules within their enterprise archives. I'll take a deeper look at why GlassFish is behaving so, and whether this is specific to 3.1.2.
