Question

Testing EJB3 using glassfish embeddable container, but this call seems to return null all the time, any ideas?

//from JUnit 

EJBContainer ejc = javax.ejb.embeddable.EJBContainer.createEJBContainer();

Answer 1

Got it to work using openejb. Here is how to get it to start openejb container for testing. Within your JUnit code, add the following (Ideally, in setUpClass)

Properties props = new Properties();
        props.setProperty(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"org.apache.openejb.client.LocalInitialContextFactory");
        InitialContext context = new InitialContext(props);
        MyEJB b = (MyEJB) context.lookup("MyEJBLocalBean");

You can now call business methods on your MyEJB object b.
