How to test Restlet web service using JUnit without deploying web service in web server


1. create a class to load all bean xml files extending Application

public class WebServiceServer extends Application {

    /**
     * Creates a root Restlet that will receive all incoming calls.
     */
    @Override
    public synchronized Restlet createInboundRoot() {
        // Create a router Restlet that routes each call to a
        // new instance of HelloWorldResource.

        File contextDir = new File(System.getProperty("user.dir"));
        if (!contextDir.getName().equals("context")) {
            contextDir = new File(contextDir, "context");
        }

        if (!contextDir.isDirectory()) {
            throw new IllegalStateException("Could not find context directory");
        }
        FileSystemXmlApplicationContext context = new FileSystemXmlApplicationContext(
                new String[] {contextDir + "\\WEB-INF\\beans\\WebService-servlet.xml" });
        SpringRouter router = context.getBean("root", SpringRouter.class);

        // Defines only one route
        router.attach("/webservice", ActualRestletClass.class);

        return router;
    }
}


2. WebService-servlet.xml file config


       
           
       
   

   
     

3. Actual restlet webservice

public class ServiceResource extends ServerResource {
@Override
    protected Representation get(Variant variant) throws ResourceException {


Representation resource = new StringRepresentation(content, mediaType);
    return resource;
    }}

}

4. Now test your restlet

 public class TestWebService {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        // Create a new Component.
        Component component = new Component();
        // Add a new HTTP server listening on port 8182.
        component.getServers().add(Protocol.HTTP, 8182);
    
        // Attach the sample application.
        component.getDefaultHost().attach("/WebService",
                new WebServiceServer());
        // Start the component.
        component.start();
    }
}
