[arquillian-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (ARQ-336) Inject container references in the test to start/stop containers

[Martin Gencur (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-336?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12612160#comment-12612160 ] 

Martin Gencur commented on ARQ-336:
-----------------------------------

All the functionality is implemented already but not yet pushed.

A user will be able to inject a ContainerController:
{code:java}
@ArquillianResource
ContainerController container;
{code}

and start/stop/kill server instances like this:

{code:java}
@Test
public void killTest() throws Exception {
   //CONTAINER2 variable corresponds to container's name specified via qualifier arquillian.xml
   // ... <container qualifier="container2" managed="false">
   controller.start(CONTAINER2);
   //do some test
   controller.stop(CONTAINER2);
   //do some test
   controller.start(CONTAINER2);
   //do some test
   controller.kill(CONTAINER2);
   //do some test
}
{code}

The kill method has a default implementation called DefaultServerKillProcessor 
(implements org.jboss.arquillian.container.spi.ServerKillProcessor) which is used if no other 
impls are available. These can be shipped with DeployableContainer implementations or directly within a
test. The default implementation does the same as stop() so when there is a need to hard kill a server 
instance, the concrete implementation for the target container has to be supplied.

There are certain limitations, though. When running in a Client mode (@RunAsClient), all servers 
can be started/stopped/killed. To run in InContainer mode only containers other than the one running 
the test can be stopped/killed.

> Useful to test HA configuration and failover.
> Start 3 instances of JBoss AS in cluster mode target one of them and be able to kill it and start new nodes on demand to test failover.
