I am trying to test some rest interfaces using Arquillian. I have a class

@RunWith(Arquillian.class)
@SpringAnnotationConfiguration(classes = PersistenceTestConfig.class)
public class RestTest{...}

In this clas i have a deployment method and several tests for now. The deployment is shared for all tests but context is initialized for each test.

I have tried with this @ContextLifeCycle(ContextLifeCycleMode.TEST_CASE) annotation on test class but i'm facing the same issue.

How can i configure arquillian to use same context for all tests ?

This happens all the time(each test):

On arquillian website i found this:

Previous versions had one common drawback, each test were running using a separate instance of Spring’s ApplicationContext. Although the ApplicationContext were destroyed and all of its resources were freed after the test execution, this brought additional overhead for each test. From now on the developer has the control whether he want to create only a single context per test case or to have each test run with a new “clean” context, which in some situation might be handy. By default the context will be created only once, but it can easly be changed by adding the @ContextLifeCycle annotation to the test case.

What am i doing wrong ?
