Arquillian is a powerful testing framework that allows you to write integration tests for Java EE applications. In this blog post, we will explore how to write Arquillian tests specifically for testing Java EE security.

Setting Up Arquillian

First, you need to set up Arquillian in your project. Add the required dependencies to your pom.xml file:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.arquillian</groupId>
    <artifactId>arquillian-bom</artifactId>
    <version>1.5.0.Final</version>
    <scope>import</scope>
    <type>pom</type>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.arquillian.junit</groupId>
    <artifactId>arquillian-junit-container</artifactId>
    <version>1.5.0.Final</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Next, configure your Arquillian container. For example, if you are using the WildFly application server, add the following to your arquillian.xml file:

<container qualifier="wildfly" default="true">
    <configuration>
        <property name="jbossHome">/path/to/your/wildfly</property>
        <!-- Other configuration properties -->
    </configuration>
</container>

Writing Tests for Java EE Security

Once Arquillian is set up, you can start writing tests for Java EE security. Here are some examples.

Testing Secure Endpoint

To test a secure endpoint, you can use Arquillian to authenticate and make HTTP requests. First, inject the authentication manager and the base URL of your application:

@Inject
private IdentityManager identityManager;

@Inject
@ArquillianResource
private URL baseURL;

Then, you can write a test method to authenticate and make a request to the secure endpoint:

@Test
@RunAsClient
@InSequence(1)
public void testSecureEndpoint() {
    // Authenticate user
    identityManager.login("username", "password");

    // Make HTTP request to secure endpoint
    Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
    Response response = client.target(baseURL.toString() + "/secureEndpoint")
            .request()
            .get();

    // Assertion
    assertEquals(Response.Status.OK.getStatusCode(), response.getStatus());

    // Clean up
    identityManager.logout();
}

Testing Role-Based Access Control

You can also test role-based access control using Arquillian. First, define a test method and assign a role to the authenticated user:

@Test
@RunAsClient
@InSequence(2)
@RolesAllowed("admin")
public void testRoleBasedAccessControl() {
    // Authenticate user
    identityManager.login("adminUser", "adminPassword");

    // Make HTTP request to restricted endpoint
    Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
    Response response = client.target(baseURL.toString() + "/restrictedEndpoint")
            .request()
            .get();

    // Assertion
    assertEquals(Response.Status.OK.getStatusCode(), response.getStatus());

    // Clean up
    identityManager.logout();
}

Conclusion

Arquillian provides a convenient way to write integration tests for Java EE security. With the ability to authenticate users and make HTTP requests, you can easily test secure endpoints and role-based access control in your Java EE applications.
