EJB testing with TomEE embedded EJBContainer api: java.lang.ClassFormatError exception

Question

I would test my EJB with TomEE embedded EJBContainer.

This is my JUnit test case skeleton:

package com.xxx.indexer.scheduler.service;

import java.ut         


        

Answer 1

I read at this link, https://stackoverflow.com/a/3416368/1412839, that the problem is the order of maven dependencies.

I have to declare first the tomee embedded artifact, and after the javaee api, in this way:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.openejb</groupId>
  <artifactId>tomee-embedded</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.0</version>
  <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>javax</groupId>
  <artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
  <version>6.0</version>
  <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

It works.

Answer 2

you can replace javax:javaee-api (broken jar) by org.apache.openejb:javaee-api:6.0-4 too and it always works ;)
