从 NetBeans 对 web 服务客户端进行单元测试

Question

I have a project that contains both the ws client and service (JAX-WS). Is there a way of having the ws deploy during automated testing such that I can have my client tests encompass the calls to the service?

Obviously this would require deployment to an application server... or is this kind of testing ill-advised?

Answer 1

I found a suitable solution to this problem. Using embedded Tomcat (7.0.11), I was able to successfully deploy my web-service programmatically during the running of the unit test.

tomcat = new Tomcat();
tomcat.setBaseDir(".");
tomcat.setPort(8084);
tomcat.addWebapp("/", System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/build/web");
tomcat.setHostname("localhost");
tomcat.enableNaming();
tomcat.start();

This approach suited me well as I wanted to automate the testing of a web-service client. As Piyush pointed out, soapUI is a perfect way to perform integration testing.

Edit

If you are using context.xml you will need to define it like so:

Context ctx = tomcat.addWebapp("/", System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/build/web");
File contextFile = new File("META-INF/context.xml");
ctx.setConfigFile(contextFile);

• This is a good article on unit testing RESTful service. You can also use REST-assured to test REST services and validating the response using Junit in Java.
• For functional testing, you can use SOAPUI .
• For JAX-WS services, check this article . You can also check on the Spring way of testing JAX-WS here . You can as well do unit testing from Netbeans by following documentation mentioned here

How are you generating your service? What kind of Web Services are they? Isn't your generated service a regular POJO?
