Overview of this book

The Spring framework has been the go-to framework for Java developers for quite some time. It enhances modularity, provides more readable code, and enables the developer to focus on developing the application while the underlying framework takes care of transaction APIs, remote APIs, JMX APIs, and JMS APIs. The upcoming version of the Spring Framework has a lot to offer, above and beyond the platform upgrade to Java 9, and this book will show you all you need to know to overcome common to advanced problems you might face. Each recipe will showcase some old and new issues and solutions, right from configuring Spring 5.0 container to testing its components. Most importantly, the book will highlight concurrent processes, asynchronous MVC and reactive programming using Reactor Core APIs. Aside from the core components, this book will also include integration of third-party technologies that are mostly needed in building enterprise applications. By the end of the book, the reader will not only be well versed with the essential concepts of Spring, but will also have mastered its latest features in a solution-oriented manner.

Preface

Creating tests for Spring MVC components


This first recipe is about writing unit tests for a general Spring 5 web application. This will highlight the basic steps on how to start integration testing with Spring TestContext framework by validating and verifying that all the beans injected into the container are @Autowired correctly in order to build the required MVC application. This framework can be used not only for testing, but also for test-driven development methodology.

Getting ready

Open the previous Maven Spring ch03 and add the following MVC test cases.

How to do it...

Let us perform Spring core testing with JUnit 4, Mockito 2.x, and Spring TestContext framework:

  1. Before we start the configuration, ensure that you have the spring-context module in pom.xml. Then, add the following Spring Test, and now the JUnit 4.x and Mockito 2.x Maven dependencies to your pom.xml:
        <dependency> 
                 <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> 
                 <artifactId...
