Hi All...
I started to work on a rough implementation related to how to
inject EJB
refs into test clients. I was suggesting to do the injection
within test
suites, but I found that it is a bad idea as the test suites are
initialized
before the container, so we will not be able to initialize the EJB
refs. I
am working on another idea in my mind, and will keep you updated
with info
when I get to a proper solution.
