The @EJB annotation does not work in a TestCase that extends abstract class --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: ARQ-372 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-372 Project: Arquillian Issue Type: Bug Components: Runtime Enricher SPI Affects Versions: 1.0.0.Alpha4 Environment: Arquillian Version 1.0.0 Alpha4 openejb 3.1 junit 4.8.2 Reporter: Leopold Odenthal Assignee: David Allen Fix For: 1.0.0.Alpha5 The Problem is within a abstract class that contains @EJB annotation. When a testcase extens that abstract class the Beans will not be injected. Here is a example code: @RunWith(Arquillian.class) public abstract class AbstractTestContext { @EJB protected BeanOne beanOne; @EJB protected BeanTwo beanTwo; @Deployment public static JavaArchive getContextDeployment() { return ShrinkWrap.create(JavaArchive.class, "test.jar") .addPackages(true, RootClass.class.getPackage()) .addManifestResource("persistence.xml"); } } public class MyTest extends AbstractTestContext { @Test public void testBeanOne() { Assert.assertNotNull(beanOne); } @Test public void testBeanOne() { Assert.assertNotNull(beanOne); } } After searching the Arquillian code i found the code for my problem in the TestEnricher API.
