Explicite Local EJB not injected with Arquillian

Question

I use Arquillian to test an stateless session bean that has an explicit local and remote interface. But in the test Arquillian does not "inject" anything in a field that has the type of the local interface, but it works for the remote interface. ``` @Stateless public class TestServiceImpl implements TestServiceLocal, TestServiceRemote { public String greet() { return "hallo"; } } ``` The remote interface: ``` @Remote public interface TestServiceRemote { public String greet(); } ``` The locale interface: ``` @Local public interface TestServiceLocal { public String greet(); } ``` And this is the test: ``` @RunWith(Arquillian.class) public class GenericEntityDaoEjbIntegrationTest { @Deployment public static JavaArchive createTestArchive() throws UnsupportedEncodingException { return ShrinkWrap.create(JavaArchive.class, "test.jar") .addClasses( TestServiceLocal.class, TestServiceRemote.class, TestServiceImpl.class); } @EJB private TestServiceLocal testServiceLocal; @EJB private TestServic…

Accepted Answer

You could use one of the following:

Add a `beans.xml` file to the deployment:

```
return ShrinkWrap.create(JavaArchive.class, "test.jar")
                .addClasses(
                        TestServiceLocal.class,
                        TestServiceRemote.class,
                        TestServiceImpl.class)
                .addAsManifestResource(EmptyAsset.INSTANCE, "beans.xml");
```

This enables the CDITestEnricher of Arquillian, which is far more capable than the EJBTestEnricher. It can handle `@Inject` annotations (obviously), but also `@Resource` and `@EJB` annotations as well (see the section on Resources injection in the CDI spec). The container then treats both the `@EJB` annotated fields in your test class instance as injection points and injects the dependencies.

Specify the `mappedName` property for the `@EJB` annotation for the field with the portable JNDI name of the deployed bean. In your case, it will look something like:

```
@EJB(mappedName="java:global/test/TestServiceImpl!com.acme.TestServiceLocal")
private TestServiceLocal testServiceLocal;
```

You'll need to ensure that the portable JNDI name is the same as that the one generated for your deployment. I've merely specified the one that was generated for my "com.acme.TestServiceLocal" interface.
