By executing the Unit Tests with TestNG for this Maven2 Archetype here:
I got this Exception:
Absent Code attribute in method that is not native or abstract in class file javax/faces/lifecycle/Lifecycle
This project is annotation driven. The JSF Managed Beans are annotated with Spring Annotations:
@Component @Scope("request")
in the applicationContext.xml I have this lines here to read the annotations:
<context:annotation-config/> <context:component-scan base-package="com.versioneye" />
I created a second applicationContext.xml for the test environment and modified the annotation-config. In the test environment I am scanning now just the peristence package. Because there are anyway no Unit Tests for the JSF Managed Beans.
<context:annotation-config/> <context:component-scan base-package="com.versioneye.persistence"/>
Since I am not scanning the Managed Beans in the test environment I didn’t get the Exception above.
