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.

This class is not open for extension. To apply custom initialization to the created MockHttpServletRequest, please use the with(RequestPostProcessor) extension point.

Method Details

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(@Nullable
 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.getPathInfo()

secure
