Method Detail

addFilters

<T extends B> T addFilters(Filter... filters)

Add filters mapped to any request (i.e. "/*"). For example:

 mockMvcBuilder.addFilters(springSecurityFilterChain);
 

is the equivalent of the following web.xml configuration:

 <filter-mapping>
     <filter-name>springSecurityFilterChain</filter-name>
     <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
 </filter-mapping>
 

Filters will be invoked in the order in which they are provided.

Parameters:

filters - the filters to add

addFilter

<T extends B> T addFilter(Filter filter,
                          java.lang.String... urlPatterns)

Add a filter mapped to a specific set of patterns. For example:

 mockMvcBuilder.addFilters(myResourceFilter, "/resources/*");
 

is the equivalent of:

 <filter-mapping>
     <filter-name>myResourceFilter</filter-name>
     <url-pattern>/resources/*</url-pattern>
 </filter-mapping>
 

Filters will be invoked in the order in which they are provided.

Parameters:

filter - the filter to add

urlPatterns - the URL patterns to map to; if empty, "/*" is used by default

defaultRequest

<T extends B> T defaultRequest(RequestBuilder requestBuilder)

Define default request properties that should be merged into all performed requests. In effect this provides a mechanism for defining common initialization for all requests such as the content type, request parameters, session attributes, and any other request property.

Properties specified at the time of performing a request override the default properties defined here.

Parameters:

requestBuilder - a RequestBuilder; see static factory methods in MockMvcRequestBuilders

alwaysExpect

<T extends B> T alwaysExpect(ResultMatcher resultMatcher)

Define a global expectation that should always be applied to every response. For example, status code 200 (OK), content type "application/json", etc.

Parameters:

resultMatcher - a ResultMatcher; see static factory methods in MockMvcResultMatchers

alwaysDo

<T extends B> T alwaysDo(ResultHandler resultHandler)

Define a global action that should always be applied to every response. For example, writing detailed information about the performed request and resulting response to System.out.

Parameters:

resultHandler - a ResultHandler; see static factory methods in MockMvcResultHandlers

dispatchOptions

<T extends B> T dispatchOptions(boolean dispatchOptions)

Whether to enable the DispatcherServlet property dispatchOptionsRequest which allows processing of HTTP OPTIONS requests.

apply

<T extends B> T apply(MockMvcConfigurer configurer)

Add a MockMvcConfigurer that automates MockMvc setup and configures it for some specific purpose (e.g. security).

There is a built-in SharedHttpSessionConfigurer that can be used to re-use the HTTP session across requests. 3rd party frameworks like Spring Security also use this mechanism to provide configuration shortcuts.
