The org.apache.openejb.junit.ApplicationComposer is JUnit test runner modeled after the way we've done testing internally in OpenEJB for years (since about 2006). It involves no classpath scanning at all. If you want something to be in the app, you must build it directly in your testcase.

With the ApplicationComposer you can do identical testing that OpenEJB uses internally, but with limited dependency on OpenEJB itself. The main dependency is on the code that is used to build the actual applications:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.openejb</groupId>
  <artifactId>openejb-jee</artifactId>
  <version>4.0.0-beta-1</version>
</dependency>

Composing an Application

The main difference to the embedded EJBContainer API is building the application in the test code. This is done with one or more methods in the test case annotated with org.apache.openejb.junit.Module using the following format:

@Module
public <return-value> <module-name>() {

Where module-name is the name you wish to use for that module and return-value can be any one of the following:

Example

Used in an actual testcase, that might look like so:

import junit.framework.TestCase;
import org.apache.openejb.jee.EjbJar;
import org.apache.openejb.jee.StatefulBean;
import org.apache.openejb.jee.jpa.unit.PersistenceUnit;
import org.apache.openejb.junit.ApplicationComposer;
import org.apache.openejb.junit.Configuration;
import org.apache.openejb.junit.Module;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;

import javax.annotation.Resource;
import javax.ejb.EJB;
import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
import javax.persistence.PersistenceContext;
import javax.transaction.UserTransaction;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Properties;

@RunWith(ApplicationComposer.class)
public class MoviesTest extends TestCase {

    @EJB
    private Movies movies;

    @Resource
    private UserTransaction userTransaction;

    @PersistenceContext
    private EntityManager entityManager;

    @Module
    public PersistenceUnit persistence() {
        PersistenceUnit unit = new PersistenceUnit("movie-unit");
        unit.setJtaDataSource("movieDatabase");
        unit.setNonJtaDataSource("movieDatabaseUnmanaged");
        unit.getClazz().add(Movie.class.getName());
        unit.setProperty("openjpa.jdbc.SynchronizeMappings", "buildSchema(ForeignKeys=true)");
        return unit;
    }

    @Module
    public EjbJar beans() {
        EjbJar ejbJar = new EjbJar("movie-beans");
        ejbJar.addEnterpriseBean(new StatefulBean(MoviesImpl.class));
        return ejbJar;
    }

    @Configuration
    public Properties config() throws Exception {
        Properties p = new Properties();
        p.put("movieDatabase", "new://Resource?type=DataSource");
        p.put("movieDatabase.JdbcDriver", "org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver");
        p.put("movieDatabase.JdbcUrl", "jdbc:hsqldb:mem:moviedb");
        return p;
    }

    @Test
    public void test() throws Exception {

        userTransaction.begin();

        try {
            entityManager.persist(new Movie("Quentin Tarantino", "Reservoir Dogs", 1992));
            entityManager.persist(new Movie("Joel Coen", "Fargo", 1996));
            entityManager.persist(new Movie("Joel Coen", "The Big Lebowski", 1998));

            List<Movie> list = movies.getMovies();
            assertEquals("List.size()", 3, list.size());

            for (Movie movie : list) {
                movies.deleteMovie(movie);
            }

            assertEquals("Movies.getMovies()", 0, movies.getMovies().size());

        } finally {
            userTransaction.commit();
        }
    }
}
