Ian Hlavats commented on JBSEAM-992:
------------------------------------

For unit testing, if I use a Seam-managed persistence context then I am using the embedded EJB container with TestNG. 

How do you test Spring integration with this approach?

How do you bootstrap a Spring WebApplicationContext in a mock servlet environment?

So far I have been creating the Spring application context from my EJBs and getting Spring beans directly in my Seam components (during @Create or @PostConstruct, not using @In).

The other option, to use a Spring-managed persistence context, would lend itself to standalone unit testing, but the Hibernate entity manager does not work without the EJB container running.

How do you get the Hibernate EntityManager in a standalone unit test? I don't think a JNDI lookup will work here.

Some guidance here would be much appreciated.

> Since most Spring project will be using a Spring configured EntityManagerFactory we should use one in the Spring example as well and inject this EntityManagerFactory into the Seam Managed PersistenceContext component with an expression.
