Running JUnit in Weblogic server from Ant?

["David M. Goudreau" <da...@crosscommerce.com>]

I have tests set up to run INSIDE the WebLogic server, since many of my
objects require various services of the server.  Right now, the way I run my
JUnit tests is manually through a servlet which outputs the test results to
an HTML page while the server is running.

Does anyone know if it's possible to run JUnit in the context of a running
WebLogic server from Ant?  I'd love to build AND test at the same
time...TIA.

To test your EJBs, you can write a jUnit test acting as a T3 client for
weblogic:
* Extend TestCase with a class A.
* Declare an instance-level EJB reference to your bean.
* Override the setup method to perform a lookup on your bean's home and
init the reference.
* Then, you can invoke biz methods on your EJB in each of you test
methods. 
This can be integrated in Ant by calling A with the <java> task. Of
course you need to make this target dependent on <wlrun> :)

Hope it helps,

David-

You might want to check out this article on Continuous Integration by Martin
Fowler and Matthew Foemmel.  He describes a process that sounds quite
similar to what you are describing.  I don't think he runs his 'in-server'
unit tests from ant, though.  Nonetheless, the article might give you some
ideas about how to do what you want.
