Arquillian hooks into your testing framework to manage the container's life cycle. It also bundles the test class into a deployable archive with dependent classes and resources.

This is the last chapter covering basic Java EE and WildFly features. We started with a few session beans, and ended up with web sockets, an asynchronous messaging system, RESTful API, and even a little bit of JavaScript. During the course of this book, we saw how the newest edition of Java EE provided us with tools to create modern and scalable applications. The platform's goal is to help the developer to focus on the business...
