In my two previous posts I gave an introduction on how to consume a RESTful web service with AngularJS created by a Java backend and use Guice in the Java backend.
In this post I will show how to create a unit test for this web service.
Most of this code is inspired by a blog post from Paulo Renato de Athaydes.
We will need to install some new dependencies:
jetty-maven-pluginjunitjersey-clientjersey-grizzly2
Grizzly will be our web server for testing.

Our class under test is UserRestService.java:
package ngdemo.rest;
import com.google.inject.Inject;
import ngdemo.domain.User;
import ngdemo.service.contract.UserService;
import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
@Path("/users")
public class UserRestService {
private final UserService userService;
@Inject
public UserRestService(UserService userService) {
this.userService = userService;
}
@GET
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public User getDefaultUserInJSON() {
return userService.getDefaultUser();
}
}
Here is the corresponding unit test class UserRestServiceTest.java:
package ngdemo.tests;
import com.google.inject.Guice;
import com.google.inject.Injector;
import com.google.inject.servlet.ServletModule;
import com.sun.jersey.api.client.Client;
import com.sun.jersey.api.client.ClientResponse;
import com.sun.jersey.api.client.WebResource;
import com.sun.jersey.api.client.config.DefaultClientConfig;
import com.sun.jersey.api.container.grizzly2.GrizzlyServerFactory;
import com.sun.jersey.api.core.PackagesResourceConfig;
import com.sun.jersey.api.core.ResourceConfig;
import com.sun.jersey.core.spi.component.ioc.IoCComponentProviderFactory;
import com.sun.jersey.guice.spi.container.GuiceComponentProviderFactory;
import ngdemo.repositories.contract.UserRepository;
import ngdemo.repositories.impl.UserRepositoryImpl;
import ngdemo.service.contract.UserService;
import ngdemo.service.impl.UserServiceImpl;
import org.glassfish.grizzly.http.server.HttpServer;
import org.junit.After;
import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
import javax.ws.rs.core.UriBuilder;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URI;
import static junit.framework.Assert.assertEquals;
public class UserRestServiceTest {
static final URI BASE_URI = getBaseURI();
HttpServer server;
private static URI getBaseURI() {
return UriBuilder.fromUri("http://localhost/").port(9998).build();
}
@Before
public void startServer() throws IOException {
System.out.println("Starting grizzly...");
Injector injector = Guice.createInjector(new ServletModule() {
@Override
protected void configureServlets() {
bind(UserService.class).to(UserServiceImpl.class);
bind(UserRepository.class).to(UserRepositoryImpl.class);
}
});
ResourceConfig rc = new PackagesResourceConfig("ngdemo.rest");
IoCComponentProviderFactory ioc = new GuiceComponentProviderFactory(rc, injector);
server = GrizzlyServerFactory.createHttpServer(BASE_URI + "rest/", rc, ioc);
System.out.println(String.format("Jersey app started with WADL available at "
+ "%srest/application.wadl\nTry out %sngdemo\nHit enter to stop it...",
BASE_URI, BASE_URI));
}
@After
public void stopServer() {
server.stop();
}
@Test
public void testGetDefaultUser() throws IOException {
Client client = Client.create(new DefaultClientConfig());
WebResource service = client.resource(getBaseURI());
ClientResponse resp = service.path("rest").path("users")
.accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
.get(ClientResponse.class);
System.out.println("Got stuff: " + resp);
String text = resp.getEntity(String.class);
assertEquals(200, resp.getStatus());
assertEquals("{\"firstName\":\"JonFromREST\",\"lastName\":\"DoeFromREST\"}", text);
}
}
In the startServer method we create an injector for Guice, which we can then pass into the GuiceComponentProviderFactory to create the inversion of control (IoC) container.
Together with the ResourceConfig the IoC container is passed to Grizzly’s server factory to create the web server for testing.
Within the actual test method testGetDefaultUser we only have to setup the Jersey Client to retrieve the response (from the Grizzly server).
Here’s the test output from Maven:
$ mvn test
