Using Primefaces EventBus on Glassfish Embedded with JUnit - jsf

Question

I'm looking to unit test my Java EE code by using the embedded Glassfish container and JUnit. On its own this works ok, but I've discovered that when the Primefaces EventBusFactory is called it fails with a Null Pointer Exception. I'm not sure how to resolve that, or if I should be testing this in another way.
Here is my test:
public class CreateOrderBookTest {
private RequestBean requestBean;
private EJBContainer ejbContainer;
private Context ctx;
#Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
ejbContainer = EJBContainer.createEJBContainer();
System.out.println("Opening the container" );
ctx = ejbContainer.getContext();
}
#After
public void tearDown() throws Exception {
ejbContainer.close();
System.out.println("Closing the container" );
}
#Test
public void test() throws NamingException {
RequestBean requestBean = (RequestBean) ctx.lookup("java:global/classes/RequestBean");
assertNotNull(requestBean);
requestBean.createBidOrder(50, 1.0, "CLCS", "00001");
}
}
Here is the function I'm testing in a RequestScoped Stateful bean:
public void createBidOrder(Integer amount, Double price, String memberId, String traderId)
{
BidOrder order = new BidOrder(amount,price, em.find(Member.class, memberId),
em.find(Trader.class, new Integer(traderId)));
logger.log(Level.INFO, "RequestBean.createBidOrder Created new order with bidprice {0}",
new Object[]{price});
em.persist(order);
EventBus eventBus = EventBusFactory.getDefault().eventBus();
eventBus.publish("/notify", "order");
}
