如何模拟用于单元测试的服务器重新启动任务-Java？

Question

I need to unit test a 'wait for reboot' action written in my code. The code waits upto a specified timeout value given by the user for the server to restart and come up. When the timeout value is elapsed, it will throw a Timed out exception.

To test that, I need to simulate the behaviour of a server reboot. Is that really possible??

Note: I am using TestNG framework for my unit testing.

Well, In a simple manner, listen to different port OR different URL. It simulates server is down.

You can wait for some time in thread and change back URL to correct to simulate server UP!
