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();
}
}
