Re: EJB3 Testing

1.) Can Cactus be used within an EJB3 / Java Enterprise 5 Environment?

I guess, the answer given in the mailing list is also true for me,  
right?
[quote Petar Tahchiev]:  First no, Cactus currently does not support  
J2EE 1.5.
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg07439.html

But then, does this mean Cactus is of no use for me?  I would not mind  
if Cactus is unable to start and stop Glassfish, or to undeploy and  
deploy my application, I can do this myself. I would be happy to have  
Cactus run inside my Glassfish container, and I could then run the  
tests by hand using my webbrowser.

To demonstrate this possibility, I wrote a sample application using
http://jakarta.apache.org/cactus/writing/howto_ejb_j2eeri.html and
http://jakarta.apache.org/cactus/integration/integration_browser.html
as guidelines. I can now call http://localhost:8080/Sukkulent-war/ServletTestRunner?suite=sukkulent.web.MyTestsuite&xsl=cactus-report.xsl 
  and I get a nice report.


2.) How can my Cactus TestSuite get a reference to an EJB3 Session bean?

Even though I am happy to have the above mentionned sample application  
running, I am still having difficulties. The one thing that is not  
working is this: My Cactus Testcase cannot reference my EJBs. The  
usual @EJB injection simply does not work...

public class MyTestsuite extends ServletTestCase {
     private MySessionBeanLocal mysessionbean;
     // ...
     @Override
     public void setUp() {
         // TODO: How can I get a reference to my EJB Session Bean?
     }

     public void testXXX() throws Exception {
         assertNotNull(mysessionbean);
     }
}

How can my Cactus Testcase get a reference to MySessionBean? I would  
preferably use the local interface since the rest of my application  
does not need remote interfaces... Please help!
