[jboss-as7-dev] Is Arquillian remote support present in AS7?

[Aslak Knutsen]

There are two different containers for this; 

Managed and Remote

Pr Arquillian standards the Managed containers should not connect to running instances they find, because this can lead to harmful deployments on servers you did not intend to deploy to.

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.jboss.as</groupId>
  <artifactId>jboss-as-arquillian-container-managed</artifactId>
</dependency>


This is where the Remote type of container comes, they won't start the container, but expect it to be started already and only deploy to it.

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.jboss.as</groupId>
  <artifactId>jboss-as-arquillian-container-remote</artifactId>
</dependency>
