Java – Jersey test framework 2.5 – test post method

I tried to find some manuals on how to use the Jersey framework to test post methods, only get methods

Here's an example:

@POST
@Path("add")
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
public Response addUser(JAXBElement<User> user) {

    int code = userService.addUser(user.getValue());
    if (code == 500) {
        return Response.status(500).build();
    }
    return Response.status(code).entity(user).build();

}

Can you publish some post method test examples? Thank you first

Solution

After research, I did it!

This is my solution. It works well And it's a fairly integrated test, but we can write unit tests in a similar way

public class RestTest extends JerseyTest{

@Override
protected Application configure() {

    return new Your_Resource_Config(); //Your resource config with registered classes
}

//@Before and/or @After for db preparing etc. - if you want integration tests

@Test
public void addUsertest() {
    User user = new User();
    user.setEmail("user2@mail.com");
    user.setName("Jane Doe");
    user.getUserRoles().getRoles().add("supertester");
    Entity<User> userEntity = Entity.entity(user,MediaType.APPLICATION_XML_TYPE);
    target("users/add").request().post(userEntity); //Here we send POST request
    Response response = target("users/find").queryParam("email","user2@mail.com").request().get(); //Here we send GET request for retrieving results
    Assert.assertEquals("user2@mail.com",response.readEntity(User.class).getEmail());

}
