您如何自定义配置RESTeasy以与Mockito一起使用？

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to configure RESTeasy for use with Mockito. I had to create custom Serializers and Deserializers. I found this article that talked about creating custom serializers and deserializers and turning them into a module.

I also found this article and this article about configuring Jackson to use the new custom module that I wrote.

The problem that I'm having is that I don't know how to test it. One of the articles says

The answer is to have Jackson(Jaxb)JsonProvider in the resteasy.providers section of resteasy-jaxrs.war/WEB-INF/web.xml

I'm using Mockito to test everything. As far as I know, there isn't a resteasy-jaxrs.war file that is made. Is there anyway that I can fake this?

I should probably also add that I'm using spring and I have an applicationContext.xml file that I use just for creating fake beans etc. for testing.

If you want unit tests REST application go with REST-assured. It is very simple and powerful library - you don't need to mock everything. For other options see Ways to test RESTful services? .

Remember that even if you manage to mock everything, such test might be hardly useful - you'll test your mocks, not a true application.
