Arquillian and glassfish-embedded configuration issues,deployment fails

Question

I was assigned to an application developed some months ago, but has never been deployed in production. It is a war, with embedded EJB. The target server was in JavaEE 7 (Weblogic 12.2.1), but as this server was not available on our infra, the integration tests have been done with Arquillian on a Glassfish-embedded-3.1.

Yes I know, it is not very logical because Glassfish-3.1 is JavaEE 6 compliant. And moreover, the project is built with some Java 8 features. :)

But no problem, the Integration Tests run well with this configuration. This is the pom for this version :

There some points that sounds strange to me :

compiler source & target : 1.8
javaee-api : 7.0 (is it safe to use 1.8 ??)
arquillian-glassfish-embedded-3.1 (for a javaee 7 ??)
glassfish-embedded-all : 4.1 (should it not be linked to the arquillian-glassfish-embedded version ?)

That sounds strange, but the Arquillian tests run fine with this configuration, and these points are not the main goal of this question.

Then, some weeks ago, after been frozen for several months, this project needs to be deployed in production. And this project has never been tested or deployed in another environment on the targeted version of weblogic.

And in fact, the weblogic 12.2.1 was still not available on our infrastructure, so I had to downgrade the project to run on weblogic 12.1.3. (compiler source and target :1.8 / javaee-api:7 / removing diamonds, streams, multiple catch, refactoring the EJB Timers, EJB injection with @EJB because strange behaviours with @Inject, refactore LocaleDate, loadResource in try, ...)

I was so in a hurry that I did not take care of maintaining the ITs configuration. (Though, unit Tests are ok.) The project was deployed successfully and runs fine in production.

Now, I have a little bit time to spend again on this project and I try to put ITs straight, but it is a nightmare and I do not understand everything that happens.

My approach :

Run as is.

Fails in UT :

java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException  
Caused by: java.lang.ClassFormatError: Absent Code attribute in method that is not native or abstract in class file javax/mail/search/SearchTerm`

Ok, it is because of the dependency on javaee-api 6.0.

Replace dependency javaee-api by org.jboss.spec:jboss-javaee-6.0:1.0.0.Final and later by version 3.0.3.Final

Fails in IT :

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.validation.spi.ConfigurationState.getParameterNameProvider()Ljavax/validation/ParameterNameProvider;
    at org.apache.maven.surefire.junit4.JUnit4Provider.execute(JUnit4Provider.java:367)`

Ok, the jboss-javaee-6.0 depends on javax.validation:validation-api:jar:1.0.0.GA but the ParameterNameProvider is in the validation-api 1.1

Huh. I do not understand why ParameterNameProvider is needed? By what? By JUnit4 ? Why validates against Validation 1.1?

Add the dependence to validation-api 1.1 : javax.validation:validation-api:1.1.0.Final.

Fails :

SEVERE: javax.persistence.PersistenceContext.synchronization()Ljavax/persistence/SynchronizationType;

Related annotation information: annotation [@javax.persistence.PersistenceContext(type=TRANSACTION, unitName=, properties=[], name=)] on annotated element [protected javax.persistence.EntityManager `

I understand it fails because SynchronizationType is since Java Persistence 2.1 that does not exist in JavaEE 6. But again, what implies this need in my project ??? In my dependence tree, I have the jboss-javaee-6.0 that depends on hibernate-jpa-2.0-api that -if I trust its name- is jpa 2.0 compliant.

Oh, I understand. It is because I have a dependency on the glassfish-embedded-all:4.1 that does not match.

Replace the version of this dependency to org.glassfish.main.extras:glassfish-embedded-all:3.1.2.2

And still fails... Just at the beginnnig of the ITs, before the server starts, I have this ERROR :

Can somebody help me ?

Why did you downgrade for Weblogic 12.1.3? According to Oracle it supports JDK8 (https://blogs.oracle.com/WebLogicServer/entry/weblogic_server_12_1_3) - but you prod config might differ. What's more - you should try testing it with WLS as oracle provides both arquillian adapter (https://github.com/arquillian/arquillian-container-wls) as well as docker image of the app server (https://github.com/oracle/docker-images/tree/master/OracleWebLogic). I'd rather try testing it against WLS and take it from there. — Jakub Marchwicki, Nov 17 '16 at 21:18
