MockMvcWebClientBuilder

open class MockMvcWebClientBuilder : MockMvcWebConnectionBuilderSupport<MockMvcWebClientBuilder>

MockMvcWebClientBuilder simplifies the creation of an HtmlUnit WebClient that delegates to a MockMvc instance.

The MockMvc instance used by the builder may be supplied directly or created transparently from a WebApplicationContext.

build	`open fun build(): WebClient` Build the WebClient configured via this builder. The returned client will use the configured MockMvc instance for processing any WebRequestMatcher requests and a delegate `WebClient` for all other requests. If a delegate has been explicitly configured, it will be used; otherwise, a default `WebClient` will be configured as the delegate.
mockMvcSetup	`open static fun mockMvcSetup(mockMvc: MockMvc): MockMvcWebClientBuilder` Create a new `MockMvcWebClientBuilder` based on the supplied MockMvc instance.
webAppContextSetup	`open static fun webAppContextSetup(context: WebApplicationContext): MockMvcWebClientBuilder` Create a new `MockMvcWebClientBuilder` based on the supplied WebApplicationContext. `open static fun webAppContextSetup(context: WebApplicationContext, configurer: MockMvcConfigurer): MockMvcWebClientBuilder` Create a new `MockMvcWebClientBuilder` based on the supplied WebApplicationContext and MockMvcConfigurer.
withDelegate	`open fun withDelegate(webClient: WebClient): MockMvcWebClientBuilder` Supply the `WebClient` that the client built by this builder should delegate to when processing non-WebRequestMatcher requests.

alwaysUseMockMvc	`open fun alwaysUseMockMvc(): T` Specify that MockMvc should always be used regardless of what the request looks like.
contextPath	`open fun contextPath(contextPath: String): T` Set the context path to use. If the supplied value is `null` or empty, the first path segment of the request URL is assumed to be the context path. Default is `""`.
useMockMvc	`open fun useMockMvc(vararg matchers: WebRequestMatcher): T` Add additional WebRequestMatcher instances that will ensure that MockMvc is used to process the request, if such a matcher matches against the web request.
useMockMvcForHosts	`open fun useMockMvcForHosts(vararg hosts: String): T` Add additional WebRequestMatcher instances that return `true` if a supplied host matches — for example, `"example.com"` or `"example.com:8080"`.
