MockHttpServletRequestBuilder (Spring Framework 4.3.5.RELEASE API)

java.lang.Object
- org.springframework.test.web.servlet.request.MockHttpServletRequestBuilder

All Implemented Interfaces:

Mergeable, ConfigurableSmartRequestBuilder<MockHttpServletRequestBuilder>, RequestBuilder, SmartRequestBuilder

Direct Known Subclasses:

MockMultipartHttpServletRequestBuilder
```
public class MockHttpServletRequestBuilder
extends Object
implements ConfigurableSmartRequestBuilder<MockHttpServletRequestBuilder>, Mergeable
```
Default builder for MockHttpServletRequest required as input to perform requests in MockMvc.
Application tests will typically access this builder through the static factory methods in MockMvcRequestBuilders.
Although this class cannot be extended, additional ways to initialize the MockHttpServletRequest can be plugged in via with(RequestPostProcessor).

Since:

3.2

  - session
```
public MockHttpServletRequestBuilder session(MockHttpSession session)
```
    Set the HTTP session to use, possibly re-used across requests.
    Individual attributes provided via sessionAttr(String, Object) override the content of the session provided here.
    
    Parameters:
    
    session - the HTTP session
  - principal
```
public MockHttpServletRequestBuilder principal(Principal principal)
```
    Set the principal of the request.
    
    Parameters:
    
    principal - the principal
  - contextPath
```
public MockHttpServletRequestBuilder contextPath(String contextPath)
```
    Specify the portion of the requestURI that represents the context path. The context path, if specified, must match to the start of the request URI.
    In most cases, tests can be written by omitting the context path from the requestURI. This is because most applications don't actually depend on the name under which they're deployed. If specified here, the context path must start with a "/" and must not end with a "/".
    
    See Also:
    
    HttpServletRequest.getContextPath()
  - servletPath
```
public MockHttpServletRequestBuilder servletPath(String servletPath)
```
    Specify the portion of the requestURI that represents the path to which the Servlet is mapped. This is typically a portion of the requestURI after the context path.
    In most cases, tests can be written by omitting the servlet path from the requestURI. This is because most applications don't actually depend on the prefix to which a servlet is mapped. For example if a Servlet is mapped to "/main/*", tests can be written with the requestURI "/accounts/1" as opposed to "/main/accounts/1". If specified here, the servletPath must start with a "/" and must not end with a "/".
    
    See Also:
    
    HttpServletRequest.getServletPath()
  - pathInfo
```
public MockHttpServletRequestBuilder pathInfo(String pathInfo)
```
    Specify the portion of the requestURI that represents the pathInfo.
    If left unspecified (recommended), the pathInfo will be automatically derived by removing the contextPath and the servletPath from the requestURI and using any remaining part. If specified here, the pathInfo must start with a "/".
    If specified, the pathInfo will be used as is.
    
    See Also:
    
    HttpServletRequest.getServletPath()
  - secure
```
public MockHttpServletRequestBuilder secure(boolean secure)
```
    Set the secure property of the ServletRequest indicating use of a secure channel, such as HTTPS.
    
    Parameters:
    
    secure - whether the request is using a secure channel
  - with
```
public MockHttpServletRequestBuilder with(RequestPostProcessor postProcessor)
```
    An extension point for further initialization of MockHttpServletRequest in ways not built directly into the MockHttpServletRequestBuilder. Implementation of this interface can have builder-style methods themselves and be made accessible through static factory methods.

```
public Object merge(Object parent)
```
    Merges the properties of the "parent" RequestBuilder accepting values only if not already set in "this" instance.

    Parameters:
    
    parent - the parent RequestBuilder to inherit properties from

    the result of the merge
  - buildRequest
```
public final MockHttpServletRequest buildRequest(ServletContext servletContext)
```

    buildRequest in interface RequestBuilder
    
    Parameters:
    
    servletContext - the ServletContext to use to create the request

    the request
  - createServletRequest
```
protected MockHttpServletRequest createServletRequest(ServletContext servletContext)
```
    Create a new MockHttpServletRequest based on the supplied ServletContext.
    Can be overridden in subclasses.
  - postProcessRequest
```
public MockHttpServletRequest postProcessRequest(MockHttpServletRequest request)
```
    Description copied from interface: SmartRequestBuilder
    
    Apply request post processing. Typically that means invoking one or more RequestPostProcessors.
    
    Specified by:
    
    postProcessRequest in interface SmartRequestBuilder
    
    Parameters:
    
    request - the request to initialize
