org.springframework.test.web.servlet.setup.AbstractMockMvcBuilder<B>

Type Parameters:

B - a self reference to the builder type

All Implemented Interfaces:

MockMvcBuilder, ConfigurableMockMvcBuilder<B>

Direct Known Subclasses:

DefaultMockMvcBuilder, StandaloneMockMvcBuilder

public abstract class AbstractMockMvcBuilder<B extends AbstractMockMvcBuilder<B>>
extends MockMvcBuilderSupport
implements ConfigurableMockMvcBuilder<B>

Abstract implementation of MockMvcBuilder with common methods for configuring filters, default request properties, global expectations and global result actions.

Subclasses can use different strategies to prepare the Spring WebApplicationContext that will be passed to the DispatcherServlet.

Method Details

addFilters

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

Description copied from interface: ConfigurableMockMvcBuilder

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

 mockMvcBuilder.addFilters(springSecurityFilterChain);
 

It 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.

Specified by:

addFilters in interface ConfigurableMockMvcBuilder<B extends AbstractMockMvcBuilder<B>>

Parameters:

filters - the filters to add

addFilter

public final <T extends B> T addFilter(Filter filter,
 String... urlPatterns)

Description copied from interface: ConfigurableMockMvcBuilder

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

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

It 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.

Specified by:

addFilter in interface ConfigurableMockMvcBuilder<B extends AbstractMockMvcBuilder<B>>

Parameters:

filter - the filter to add

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

defaultRequest

public final <T extends B> T defaultRequest(RequestBuilder requestBuilder)

Description copied from interface: ConfigurableMockMvcBuilder

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.

Specified by:

defaultRequest in interface ConfigurableMockMvcBuilder<B extends AbstractMockMvcBuilder<B>>

Parameters:

requestBuilder - a RequestBuilder; see static factory methods in MockMvcRequestBuilders

defaultResponseCharacterEncoding

public final <T extends B> T defaultResponseCharacterEncoding(Charset defaultResponseCharacterEncoding)

Define the default character encoding to be applied to every response.

Specified by:

defaultResponseCharacterEncoding in interface ConfigurableMockMvcBuilder<B extends AbstractMockMvcBuilder<B>>

Parameters:

defaultResponseCharacterEncoding - the default response character encoding

Since:

5.3.10

alwaysExpect

public final <T extends B> T alwaysExpect(ResultMatcher resultMatcher)

Description copied from interface: ConfigurableMockMvcBuilder

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

Specified by:

alwaysExpect in interface ConfigurableMockMvcBuilder<B extends AbstractMockMvcBuilder<B>>

Parameters:

resultMatcher - a ResultMatcher; see static factory methods in MockMvcResultMatchers

alwaysDo

public final <T extends B> T alwaysDo(ResultHandler resultHandler)

Description copied from interface: ConfigurableMockMvcBuilder

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.

Specified by:

alwaysDo in interface ConfigurableMockMvcBuilder<B extends AbstractMockMvcBuilder<B>>

Parameters:

resultHandler - a ResultHandler; see static factory methods in MockMvcResultHandlers

addDispatcherServletCustomizer

public final <T extends B> T addDispatcherServletCustomizer(DispatcherServletCustomizer customizer)

Description copied from interface: ConfigurableMockMvcBuilder

A more advanced variant of ConfigurableMockMvcBuilder.dispatchOptions(boolean) that allows customizing any DispatcherServlet property.

Specified by:

addDispatcherServletCustomizer in interface ConfigurableMockMvcBuilder<B extends AbstractMockMvcBuilder<B>>

dispatchOptions

public final <T extends B> T dispatchOptions(boolean dispatchOptions)

Description copied from interface: ConfigurableMockMvcBuilder

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

Specified by:

dispatchOptions in interface ConfigurableMockMvcBuilder<B extends AbstractMockMvcBuilder<B>>

apply

public final <T extends B> T apply(MockMvcConfigurer configurer)

Description copied from interface: ConfigurableMockMvcBuilder

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.

Specified by:

apply in interface ConfigurableMockMvcBuilder<B extends AbstractMockMvcBuilder<B>>

• SharedHttpSessionConfigurer

self

protected <T extends B> T self()

build

public final MockMvc build()

Build a MockMvc instance.

Specified by:

build in interface MockMvcBuilder

initWebAppContext

protected abstract WebApplicationContext initWebAppContext()

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