[webbeans-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (WBRI-253) provide informative exception when attempt is made to invoke EJB from test in standalone mode

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.PREVIEW2 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 at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.jboss.webbeans.bean.proxy.ClientProxyMethodHandler.invoke(ClientProxyMethodHandler.java:97) at org.jboss.seam.examples.booking.action.HotelSearch_$$_javassist_1.isPreviousPageAvailable(HotelSearch_$$_javassist_1.java) at org.jboss.seam.examples.booking.action.FooTest.testCallMethodOnSessionBean(FooTest.java:20) Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.jboss.webbeans.util.Reflections.lookupMethod(Reflections.java:514) at org.jboss.webbeans.util.Reflections.lookupMethod(Reflections.java:496) at org.jboss.webbeans.bean.proxy.EnterpriseBeanProxyMethodHandler.invoke(EnterpriseBeanProxyMethodHandler.java:136) at org.jboss.seam.examples.booking.action.HotelSearch_$$_javassist_0.isPreviousPageAvailable(HotelSearch_$$_javassist_0.java) ... 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.
