[arquillian-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (ARQ-152) Support multiple container configurations for same container type

[Dan Allen (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-152?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12550991#action_12550991 ] 

Dan Allen commented on ARQ-152:
-------------------------------

It would be pretty simple to add the arquillian.container.config (other options include: arquillian.container.configuration, arquillian.container.qualifier) property and consult it when deciding which configuration of the target container to select.

In Eclipse, you would have to custom the run configuration of the JUnit/TestNG test and add a VM argument under the Arguments tab:

-Darquillian.container.config=staging

Setting the property from the commandline when using Maven is complicated by the debacle around SUREFIRE-121 (http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-121). At the moment, you have to setup a pass-through in the surefire plugin configuration:

<configuration>
   <systemProperties>
      <property>
         <name>arquillian.container.config</name>
         <value>${arquillian.container.config}</value>
      </property>
   </systemProperties>
</configuration>

Then you can use it from the commandline using the -D switch.

mvn test -Darquillian.container.config=staging -Pjbossas-remote-6

I don't think that the configuration name should be a universal id. It's really just a qualifier. You may use the same qualifier again with a different container.

<jboss:container qualifier="qa1">
   ...
</jboss:container>

<jboss:container qualifier="qa2">
   ...
</jboss:container>

<glassfish:container qualifier="qa1">
   ...
</glassfish:container>

<glassfish:container qualifier="qa2">
   ...
</glassfish:container>

(Selecting which container implementation to use in a test run is currently controlled by the classpath, but in the future may be controlled by yet another property).

> Configuration need to support multiple container configurations for the same container type with a runtime 'flag' for switching configuration.
> UseCase:
> Different configuration for test/stage servers. e.g.
> {code:XML}
> <arquillian xmlns="http://jboss.com/arquillian"
> 		xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
