Mocking EJB injection in tests

Question

Whenever I want to test a class which uses resource injection I end up including a constructor that will only be used within the test:

public class A {

It's certainly one way to do it, although I'd rely on package access; don't provide a constructor injection point, but simply have your test in the same package as the bean being tested. That way, your test can just access the value directly (assuming it's not private):

@Test
public void EJBInjectionTest() {
   A a=new A();
   a.b=new B() {
       // mock functionality here, of course...
   };
   assertNotNull(a.b);
}
