org.springframework.test.web.servlet.setup.StandaloneMockMvcBuilder

All Implemented Interfaces:

MockMvcBuilder, ConfigurableMockMvcBuilder<StandaloneMockMvcBuilder>

public class StandaloneMockMvcBuilder
extends AbstractMockMvcBuilder<StandaloneMockMvcBuilder>

A MockMvcBuilder that accepts @Controller registrations thus allowing full control over the instantiation and initialization of controllers and their dependencies similar to plain unit tests, and also making it possible to test one controller at a time.

This builder creates the minimum infrastructure required by the DispatcherServlet to serve requests with annotated controllers and also provides methods for customization. The resulting configuration and customization options are equivalent to using MVC Java config except using builder style methods.

To configure view resolution, either select a "fixed" view to use for every request performed (see setSingleView(View)) or provide a list of ViewResolvers (see setViewResolvers(ViewResolver...)).

Constructor Detail

StandaloneMockMvcBuilder

protected StandaloneMockMvcBuilder(Object... controllers)

Protected constructor. Not intended for direct instantiation.

See Also:

MockMvcBuilders.standaloneSetup(Object...)

Method Detail

setControllerAdvice

public StandaloneMockMvcBuilder setControllerAdvice(Object... controllerAdvice)

Register one or more ControllerAdvice instances to be used in tests.

Normally @ControllerAdvice are auto-detected as long as they're declared as Spring beans. However since the standalone setup does not load any Spring configuration they need to be registered explicitly here instead much like controllers.

Since:

4.2

setMessageConverters

public StandaloneMockMvcBuilder setMessageConverters(HttpMessageConverter<?>... messageConverters)

Set the message converters to use in argument resolvers and in return value handlers, which support reading and/or writing to the body of the request and response. If no message converters are added to the list, a default list of converters is added instead.

setValidator

public StandaloneMockMvcBuilder setValidator(Validator validator)

Provide a custom Validator instead of the one created by default. The default implementation used, assuming JSR-303 is on the classpath, is LocalValidatorFactoryBean.

setConversionService

public StandaloneMockMvcBuilder setConversionService(FormattingConversionService conversionService)

Provide a conversion service with custom formatters and converters. If not set, a DefaultFormattingConversionService is used by default.

addInterceptors

public StandaloneMockMvcBuilder addInterceptors(HandlerInterceptor... interceptors)

Add interceptors mapped to all incoming requests.

addMappedInterceptors

public StandaloneMockMvcBuilder addMappedInterceptors(String[] pathPatterns,
                                                      HandlerInterceptor... interceptors)

Add interceptors mapped to a set of path patterns.

setContentNegotiationManager

protected StandaloneMockMvcBuilder setContentNegotiationManager(ContentNegotiationManager contentNegotiationManager)

Set a ContentNegotiationManager.

setAsyncRequestTimeout

public StandaloneMockMvcBuilder setAsyncRequestTimeout(long timeout)

Specify the timeout value for async execution. In Spring MVC Test, this value is used to determine how to long to wait for async execution to complete so that a test can verify the results synchronously.

Parameters:

timeout - the timeout value in milliseconds

setCustomArgumentResolvers

public StandaloneMockMvcBuilder setCustomArgumentResolvers(HandlerMethodArgumentResolver... argumentResolvers)

Provide custom resolvers for controller method arguments.

setCustomReturnValueHandlers

public StandaloneMockMvcBuilder setCustomReturnValueHandlers(HandlerMethodReturnValueHandler... handlers)

Provide custom handlers for controller method return values.

setHandlerExceptionResolvers

public StandaloneMockMvcBuilder setHandlerExceptionResolvers(List<HandlerExceptionResolver> exceptionResolvers)

Set the HandlerExceptionResolver types to use as a list.

setHandlerExceptionResolvers

public StandaloneMockMvcBuilder setHandlerExceptionResolvers(HandlerExceptionResolver... exceptionResolvers)

Set the HandlerExceptionResolver types to use as an array.

setViewResolvers

public StandaloneMockMvcBuilder setViewResolvers(ViewResolver... resolvers)

Set up view resolution with the given ViewResolvers. If not set, an InternalResourceViewResolver is used by default.

setSingleView

public StandaloneMockMvcBuilder setSingleView(View view)

Sets up a single ViewResolver that always returns the provided view instance. This is a convenient shortcut if you need to use one View instance only -- e.g. rendering generated content (JSON, XML, Atom).

setLocaleResolver

public StandaloneMockMvcBuilder setLocaleResolver(LocaleResolver localeResolver)

Provide a LocaleResolver instance. If not provided, the default one used is AcceptHeaderLocaleResolver.

setFlashMapManager

public StandaloneMockMvcBuilder setFlashMapManager(FlashMapManager flashMapManager)

Provide a custom FlashMapManager instance. If not provided, SessionFlashMapManager is used by default.

setUseSuffixPatternMatch

public StandaloneMockMvcBuilder setUseSuffixPatternMatch(boolean useSuffixPatternMatch)

Whether to use suffix pattern match (".*") when matching patterns to requests. If enabled a method mapped to "/users" also matches to "/users.*".

The default value is true.

setUseTrailingSlashPatternMatch

public StandaloneMockMvcBuilder setUseTrailingSlashPatternMatch(boolean useTrailingSlashPatternMatch)

Whether to match to URLs irrespective of the presence of a trailing slash. If enabled a method mapped to "/users" also matches to "/users/".

The default value is true.

setRemoveSemicolonContent

public StandaloneMockMvcBuilder setRemoveSemicolonContent(boolean removeSemicolonContent)

Set if ";" (semicolon) content should be stripped from the request URI. The value, if provided, is in turn set on AbstractHandlerMapping.setRemoveSemicolonContent(boolean).

addPlaceholderValue

public StandaloneMockMvcBuilder addPlaceholderValue(String name,
                                                    String value)

In a standalone setup there is no support for placeholder values embedded in request mappings. This method allows manually provided placeholder values so they can be resolved. Alternatively consider creating a test that initializes a WebApplicationContext.

Since:

4.2.8

addPlaceHolderValue

@Deprecated
public StandaloneMockMvcBuilder addPlaceHolderValue(String name,
                                                                String value)

Deprecated. as of 4.2.8, in favor of addPlaceholderValue(String, String)

initWebAppContext

protected WebApplicationContext initWebAppContext()

Description copied from class: AbstractMockMvcBuilder

A method to obtain the WebApplicationContext to be passed to the DispatcherServlet. Invoked from AbstractMockMvcBuilder.build() before the MockMvc instance is created.

Specified by:

initWebAppContext in class AbstractMockMvcBuilder<StandaloneMockMvcBuilder>
