[jboss-as7-dev] If you see a NPE in your unit tests during an InitialContext reference...

[Andrew Lee Rubinger]

This is due to:

https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-458
https://github.com/arquillian/arquillian-core/commit/a7def997135c3535f8fbbf55878a6e47bd47afe5

We can't execute @BeforeClass in-container, so injection it is (which is 
nicer anyway, ain't it? :) )

And as Scott correctly notes, @ArquillianResource provides the facility.

Related but a bit tangential, when injecting stuff like EJBs I do:

@EJB(mappedName="globalJndiName")

...rather than lookups.
