Method Details

getDispatcherServlet

public DispatcherServlet getDispatcherServlet()

Return the underlying DispatcherServlet instance that this MockMvc was initialized with.

This is intended for use in custom request processing scenario where a request handling component happens to delegate to the DispatcherServlet at runtime and therefore needs to be injected with it.

For most processing scenarios, simply use perform(RequestBuilder), or if you need to configure the DispatcherServlet, provide a DispatcherServletCustomizer to the MockMvcBuilder.
