Spring 3.2 mvc testing a post request

Question

From the spring tutorial ..

MvcResult mvcResult = 
mockMvc.perform(post("/person")).andExpect(status().isOk()).andReturn();

Which is fine and good, but if my controller has the signature

@RequestMapping(value = "/person", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String postPerson(Person person) {}

Where person is a simple DTO normally populated via a spring form in the jsp(with for example two String fields and getter/setters); how to submit that data in the test ?

Answer 1

Let's say that class Person has attributes name and age .

When building your request, you can do this :

post("/person")
  .param("name", "John")
  .param("age", "45")
