[arquillian-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (ARQ-254) Allow the use of @Deployment on non-static method

Allow the use of @Deployment on non-static method ------------------------------------------------- Key: ARQ-254 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-254 Project: Arquillian Issue Type: Feature Request Reporter: Elias Ross Assignee: Aslak Knutsen Some tests I have test the deployment as is, some tests add in additional EJBs. (I exclude certain EJBs and MDBs to speed up testing.) This is currently what I do: @RunWith(org.jboss.arquillian.junit.Arquillian.class) public class DeploymentTest { private static List<Class> ejb = new ArrayList<Class>(); protected static void addClass(Class c) { ejb.add(c); } @Deployment public static Archive createTestArchive() throws Exception { ... } } public class XXXTest extends DeploymentTest { static { addClass(FooEJB.class); addClass(BarEJB.class); } @Deployment public static Archive createTestArchive() throws Exception { return DeploymentTest.createTestArchive(); } } It'd be nice if, in the case of @Deployment on a non-static class, Arquillian could just created a new instance of the class and obtain the deployment that way. So, it'd look like this: @RunWith(org.jboss.arquillian.junit.Arquillian.class) public class DeploymentTest { private List<Class> ejb = new ArrayList<Class>(); protected void addClass(Class c) { ejb.add(c); } @Deployment public Archive createTestArchive() throws Exception { ... } } public class XXXTest extends DeploymentTest { { addClass(FooEJB.class); addClass(BarEJB.class); } } Arquillian should be able to simply do: new XXXTest().createTestArchive() in this case.
