Thanks Gavin. Would you agree that this would be a useful thing to be able to do, or is there a better way to write unit tests that need to access to the EntityManager? I'm not sure exactly how the annotations are implemented but your reply seems to imply that the @In would only be looked at when the class is either first loaded, or when the object is first instantiated. If this is the case, is there a way to ask Seam to "re-scan" this class/object for Seam-specific annotations and do whatever it would normally do if it were to load/instantiate the class/object itself? ... Or perhaps ask Seam to deal with the class first, and then "hand it over" to TestNG? I think Seam is a great invention and would love to see it become adopted more broadly. Great work, Gavin & Seam Team! Regards, /rag View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4052070#...
