Hi Guys,

I'm using Arquillian to test my JSF beans in an embedded Tomcat 7.0.27 container. Problem is, I'm getting this exception when I run maven test: see http://pastebin.com/Ewiwe2CQ

I have the following pom.xml: see http://pastebin.com/u2UuakAc

Here's my Unit Test Class:

@RunWith(Arquillian.class)
public class UserBeanTest {

@Deployment
public static WebArchive createDeployment() {
    MavenDependencyResolver resolver = DependencyResolvers.use(MavenDependencyResolver.class).loadMetadataFromPom("pom.xml");

    WebArchive war = ShrinkWrap.create(WebArchive.class)
        .setWebXML(new File("src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml"))
        .addAsWebResource(new File("src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/faces-config.xml"), "/WEB-INF/faces-config.xml")
        .addClass(UserBean.class);
   
 war.addAsWebResource(new File("src/main/webapp", "user.xhtml"));

    //add these libraries only for non JEE containers (e.g. tomcat)
    war.addAsLibraries(resolver.artifact("org.apache.myfaces.core:myfaces-api:2.1.5").resolveAsFiles());
    war.addAsLibraries(resolver.artifact("org.apache.myfaces.core:myfaces-impl:2.1.5").resolveAsFiles());
    return war;
}

@Test 
@InitialPage("/user.jsf")
public void should_create_greeting(JSFServerSession server, JSFClientSession client) {
    //some tests here
}

}

The problem seems to occur during deployment of the WebArchive when the Arquillian tests run, and not when my @Test methods run. I was able to make things work by using managed tomcat. But I'd prefer an embedded tomcat though. Has anyone had better luck with this?

Best Regards,

Paul
