The EventAdminTestCase uses the EventAdmin service to send/receive events.
public void testEventHandler() throws Exception
{
TestEventHandler eventHandler = new TestEventHandler();
// Register the EventHandler
Dictionary param = new Hashtable();
param.put(EventConstants.EVENT_TOPIC, new String[Introduction] { TOPIC });
context.registerService(EventHandler.class.getName(), eventHandler, param);
// Send event through the the EventAdmin
EventAdmin eventAdmin = EventAdminSupport.provideEventAdmin(context, bundle);
eventAdmin.sendEvent(new Event(TOPIC, null));
// Verify received event
assertEquals("Event received", 1, eventHandler.received.size());
assertEquals(TOPIC, eventHandler.received.get(0).getTopic());
}This test uses the OSGi Repository functionality to provision the runtime with the required support functionality like this
EventAdminSupport.provideEventAdmin(context, bundle);
To enable event admin support in AS7 you would configure this capability
<capability name="org.apache.felix:org.apache.felix.eventadmin:1.2.6"/>
