I am using an EJB schedule to do email daemon task:
@Schedule(hour="8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18")
public void sendExpirationReminders() {
}
How can I test these methods on a running server?
I currently use HtmlUnit for most of my testing so I can make real browser requests. But I’m at a loss how to test the inner contents of these daemon methods.
The short answer is: you can’t.
What some people suggest (which I agree) is to separate the code that does the scheduling with the code that actually performs an operation. If you follow this, you’ll have one class that has the
@Scheduleannotation, which only responsibility is to call the class that performs the operation.Why you can test this? It’s easy, you can’t mock Date (or the clock) in an application server.
