A Test Spring Boot application that uses Spring MVC Controllers and is unit tested.
There's also an example of populating a spring bean with values from a properties file (AppPropertiesContainer).
- To build and test, from the root of the repository, run
./gradlew build. - To run the web application, run
./gradlew bootRun. Open web browser to:- http://localhost:8080 -- view a basic intro page
- http://localhost:8080/students/list -- to view JSON list of users
- http://localhost:8080/students/Steve -- to view JSON for a specific user
All dependencies are managed in the build.gradle file.
This is a Spring Boot application. AppBootMain contains the main function that builds the application as a Spring Boot web app.
The domain_model package has a simple POJO class that gets returned by the Controller.
The data_repository package has a simple Repository class and interface representing a data store. The concreate class just contains a static list of objects. The interface exists so the dependency can be mocked using Mockito.
The web_controllers package contains Spring MVC Controllers that map REST URIs to methods that return objects.
View the test package to see Spring Tests for the Controllers.
AbstractSpringTest is a simple base class to be used for all unit tests for spring managed classes.
AbstractControllerTest sets up a MockMvc to invoke calls on the REST interface.
StudentControllerTest tests the StudentController Controller. It creates a mockito mock for the StudentRepository and injects it in to the controller. MockMvc is used to invoke calls on the REST interface and check returned JSON values.
