Hi folks! Yesterday I gave a presentation about CDI and testing. It’s still pretty hard and costly to test projects which use EJBs in business projects as Arquillian is not a good fit for those most of the times. And once again the idea popped up that it would be easy to just start a CDI container and use portable Extensions to ‚re-route‘ @Stateless, @Singleton etc and implement them as CDI features. Same could be done for @Asynchronous etc. The Transaction handling could be done by dynamically adding @Transactional with a @TransactionScoped EntityManager @Resource etc injection could be handled via Extensions as well.
This is NOT an attempt to implement a fully fledged and compatible EJB server. This is purely intended for having a quick way to test EJB projects with a very fast bootstrap. I know this has been done many times already, thus it’s finally time to start a joint effort imo ;) Any ideas, feedback? LieGrue, strub
