EJB Maven Project: Testing

[s.hauser]

Hi
I tried the new NB 6.8 with Maven and Glassfish v3.
While testing i discoverd the automatic generated test code for ejb dont seems to work within a maven project.
Following Error occours:
Absent Code attribute in method that is not native or abstract in class file Absent Code attribute in method that is not native or abstract in class file javax/ejb/embeddable/EJBContainer
java.lang.ClassFormatError: Absent Code attribute in method that is not native or abstract in class file javax/ejb/embeddable/EJBContainer

I compared it with a traditional ant project and saw that the depency for the embedded glassfish seems to be missing. So i tried to add this depency by adding the http://download.java.net/maven/glassfish/ repository and using the
glassfish-embedded-all snapshot. But this didnt help at all.

Can someone explain me what's the error here and how i can fix it?

As i wrote, i used the 3.1 SNAPSHOT from here:
http://download.java.net/maven/glassfish/org/glassfish/extras/glassfish-embedded-all/3.1-SNAPSHOT/glassfish-embedded-all-3.1-SNAPSHOT.pom
Didnt work for me. In the default repository http://download.java.net/maven2/ is no embedded glassfish as far i see.

I'd suggest not using SNAPSHOT but b74.2 instead which is the v3 final version. Have you tried http://download.java.net/maven/2 (not "/maven2")?

I found the problem.
The javaee-api is added by netbeans as "provided".
This conflicts with my manual entry.

<dependency>
<groupId>javax</groupId>
<artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
<version>6.0</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.extras</groupId>
<artifactId>glassfish-embedded-all</artifactId>
<version>3.0-b74b</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

If i remove the javaee-api the test runs fine and the deployment still works.
But i dont understand why. As far i know the scope "provided" should be ignored in the test run.

PS: I dont see a glassfish embedded version in http://download.java.net/maven/2/.

Yes that solved a problem for me too, thanks.
A small update to that, inspired by this post:

I rearranged dependencies like this:

I am a bit newbie with Netbeans 6.8 and Glassfish v3, and I have the same problem with testing EJB's in embedded container with JUnit4. I get the error message saying "no EJBContainer provider available".

I am not able to modify pom.xml or pom.modify -files under glassfish-embedded-static-shell.jar in Netbeans, the pom.xml won't even open. Neither am I able to locate the glassfish-embedded-static-shell.jar -file in my computer in order to add a xml-file there. Besides, after saving the xml-file I got from http://download.java.net/maven/glassfish/org/glassfish/extras/glassfish-embedded-all/3.1-SNAPSHOT/glassfish-embedded-all-3.1-SNAPSHOT.pom I am not able to modify it with my xml-editor.
I would like to know exactly how to modify those files and where to put them in order to get testing EJB's working. Could u help me?

EDIT: I figured out the modifying part of my problem. I still need help with the proper location.

I downloaded the glassfish-embedded-all.jar -file and added it to the classpath. Now I get a nerror saying "invalid signature file digest for Manifest main attributes". I tried to google a solution for it, but couldn't find anything useful. Any idea what it might be all about?
