I set up some "unit" tests (really integration tests) using embedded OpenEJB
with this:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.openejb</groupId>
<artifactId>openejb-core</artifactId>
<version>4.7.1</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
I am able to call my EJB methods which use JPA and this works great.
My app is J2EE deployed to Glassfish and I would like to expand the unit
testing to the JSF managed bean classes. I am able to invoke methods on those
beans with the same setup. However, those beans reference FacesContext with
calls like this:
Principal principal =
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getUserPrincipal();
This blows up with an exception because FacesContext is not available in
embedded OpenEJB.
The FacesContext can be mocked with something like Mockito, but this code does
not run without a javaee implementation on the classpath, as described here:
https://developer.jboss.org/wiki/WhatsTheCauseOfThisExceptionJavalangClassFormatErrorAbsentCode
Essentially, including a Maven dependency like this:
<dependency>
<groupId>javax</groupId>
<artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
<version>6.0</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
Provides only the API's for the javaee classes which allows the code to
compile, but does not provide an implementation, so it can't run. When the
code runs inside a container like Glassfish, the implementation is there. But
when running as a unit test, there is no such implementation unless it is
explicitly added.
I tried adding this:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.main.extras</groupId>
<artifactId>glassfish-embedded-all</artifactId>
<version>3.1.2.2</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
My understanding is that this is supposed to provide Glassfish classes at
runtime with test scope which is intended to address this problem. However,
when I run this with OpenEJB, I get this:

I suspect that the glassfish-embedded-all dependency is conflicting with
OpenEJB since they both attempt to provide the same classes and would each be
configured differently.
So what I think I'm looking for is an "embedded TomEE" or a way to add javaee
implementation classes, or minimally FacesContext, to an embedded OpenEJB. I
have been searching around the docs and web sites and have not found much to
help, thanks in advance for any info.
