# TomEE Maven Alien--Sample Project For Maven 3, Arquillian and TomEE

Lets assume you would like to integration test the following EJB within TomEE (a Tomcat on stereoids which makes lots of your boilerplate superfluous) with Arquillian:



@Stateless
public class HelloBoundary {
    
    public String hello(){
        return "Good Morning: " + new Date();
    }
}



Arquillian test code is server agnostic; the archive is created, deployed and the EJB HelloBoundary is available for injection:



import javax.inject.Inject;
import org.jboss.arquillian.container.test.api.Deployment;
import org.jboss.arquillian.junit.Arquillian;
import org.jboss.shrinkwrap.api.ArchivePaths;
import org.jboss.shrinkwrap.api.ShrinkWrap;
import org.jboss.shrinkwrap.api.asset.EmptyAsset;
import org.jboss.shrinkwrap.api.spec.WebArchive;
import org.junit.Test;
import static org.junit.Assert.*;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;

@RunWith(Arquillian.class)
public class HelloBoundaryIT {
    
    @Inject
    HelloBoundary cut;
    
    @Deployment
    public static WebArchive deploy(){
        return ShrinkWrap.create(WebArchive.class).
                addClasses(HelloBoundary.class).
                addAsWebInfResource(EmptyAsset.INSTANCE,
                ArchivePaths.create("beans.xml"));
    }
   
    @Test
    public void injection() {
        assertNotNull(cut);
        assertNotNull(cut.hello());
        assertTrue(cut.hello().startsWith("Good"));
    }
}




Usually Java EE 6 projects are packaged as WARs. The only interesting part of the POM are the TomEE and Arquillian dependencies:

The project tomee-alien was checked in into http://kenai.com/projects/javaee-patterns


[In the "Real World Java EE Patterns--Rethinking Best Practices" book (Second Iteration, "Green Book"), Arquillian was used for integration testing of Java EE-infrastructure dependent code.]
