provide informative exception when attempt is made to invoke EJB from test in standalone mode
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: WBRI-253
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/WBRI-253
             Project: Web Beans
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Enterprise Beans
    Affects Versions: 1.0.0.PREVIEW1
         Environment: test-harness in standalone mode
            Reporter: Dan Allen
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 1.0.0.CR1


My understanding is that I cannot invoke a method on an EJB session bean unless I am using incontainer mode (@IntegrationTest). Otherwise I get the following exception, assuming a method signature of HotelSearch#isPreviousPageAvailable().

java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

       ... 43 more

It might helpful to turn this NullPointerException into an IllegalStateException to make it clear that it's not possible to do such a call in standalone mode.
