I have a large scale J2EE project that currently uses Ant but we are 
considering switching to Maven2. The biggest issue we face is how to 
duplicate our integration test strategy in Maven.

Currently we deploy our app and our integration tests as 2 separate ear 
files. The main app contains stateless session beans that provide only 
local access, which are only used for transaction management.
Becuase we develop in JBoss, we leverage a trick with it's classloader 
that allows EAR to make local EJB calls between them.

The Test EAR contains all of the integration test classes which are 
executed through the Cactus ServletTestRunner class. The test classes 
look up the local EJB references under java:/comp/env/EJBName ( I am 
guessing on the exact name here).

We are trying to figure out how to get a Maven build to execute the 
ServletTestRunner classes in the same way as the Ant build currently 
can. Obviously I can have maven use it's Antrun plugin to execute the 
tests, but then I am not sure how to get the results into the any of the 
Maven reports.

I tried using the SureFire execution along with the Cactus Maven 
integration (from 1.8.1) and it seems to think they are going to execute 
via the ServletRedirector which can't support the EJB lookup.

Is there anyway to get Maven or SureFire to execute test using the 
ServletTestRunner instead of executing them locally through the 
ServletRedirector?

If not, is there anyway to have the standard cactus.xml output file used 
by the any of the Maven reporting tools?
