Class MockRestServiceServer

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.social.test.client.MockRestServiceServer

public class MockRestServiceServer
extends java.lang.Object

Main entry point for client-side REST testing. Typically used to test a RestTemplate, set up expectations on request messages, and create response messages.

The typical usage of this class is:

1. Create a MockRestServiceServer instance by calling createServer(RestTemplate).
2. Set up request expectations by calling expect(RequestMatcher), possibly by using the default RequestMatcher implementations provided in RequestMatchers (which can be statically imported). Multiple expectations can be set up by chaining ResponseActions.andExpect(RequestMatcher) calls.
3. Create an appropriate response message by calling andRespond(ResponseCreator), possibly by using the default ResponseCreator implementations provided in ResponseCreators (which can be statically imported).
4. Use the RestTemplate as normal, either directly of through client code.
5. Call verify().

Note that because of the 'fluent' API offered by this class (and related classes), you can typically use the Code Completion features (i.e. ctrl-space) in your IDE to set up the mocks.
