Using Glassfish Embedded API in unit tests of Maven project

I have a Maven Project running on Glassfish 3.0.1 with these dependencies in the pom.xml:

...
<dependency>
 <groupId>org.glassfish.extras</groupId>
 <artifactId>glassfish-embedded-all</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.1</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
 <groupId>junit</groupId>
 <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
 <version>4.8.2</version>
 <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency&g开发者_开发技巧t;
 <groupId>javax</groupId>
 <artifactId>javaee-web-api</artifactId>
 <version>6.0</version>
 <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
...

I've been trying to run unit tests using the Glassfish Embedded API, as mentioned in the first dependency, but it gives me an error every time I try to create de EJBContainer.

test class:

...
@BeforeClass
public static void setUpClass() throws Exception {
    EJBContainer ejbC = javax.ejb.embeddable.EJBContainer.createContainer();
}
...

error log:

javax.ejb.EJBException: No EJBContainer provider available
The following providers:
org.glassfish.ejb.embedded.EJBContainerProviderImpl
Returned null from createEJBContainer call.

Does anyone has experience with unit testing Maven projects with Glassfish Embedded API?

Check out the Arquillian project by JBoss.

The mission of the Arquillian project is to provide a simple test harness that abstracts away all container lifecycle and deployment from the test logic so developers can easily produce a broad range of integration tests for their enterprise Java applications.

Specific instructions for Glassfish. I use it for running my integration test with JUnit (and maven). Works great. The details of managing the embedded container are abstracted away, except for a little bit of initial configuration that they walk you through in the docs.

you can try this code it works for me : i adjust propreties according to my glassfish standard installation floder

  Map<String, Object> properties = new HashMap<>();
    properties.put(EJBContainer.MODULES, new File("target/classes/cd/espoirmur/ejb"));
    properties.put("installation.root", "C:\\Program Files\\glassfish-4.1");
    properties.put("instance.root", "C:\\Program Files\\glassfish-4.1\\glassfish\\domains\\domain1");
    properties.put("configuration.file", "C:\\Program Files\\glassfish-4.1\\glassfish\\domains\\domain1\\config\\domainEmbeded.xml");
    EJBContainer ec = EJBContainer.createEJBContainer(properties);
    System.out.println("--------------ejb container sucessfully created----------");
    Context ctx = ec.getContext();
    System.out.println("--------------ejb context successfull  sucessfully created----------");
