Spring - How to build a junit test for a soap service - spring-boot

Question

I'm following the spring guide to create a hello world soap ws. The link below :
https://spring.io/guides/gs/producing-web-service/
I successfully make it work. When i run this command line :
curl --header "content-type: text/xml" -d
#src/test/resources/request.xml http://localhost:8080/ws/coutries.wsdl
I get this response.
<SOAP-ENV:Header/><SOAP-ENV:Body><ns2:getCountryResponse xmlns:ns2="http://spring.io/guides/gs-producing-web-service"><ns2:country><ns2:name>Spain</ns2:name><ns2:population>46704314</ns2:population><ns2:capital>Madrid</ns2:capital><ns2:currency>EUR</ns2:currency></ns2:country></ns2:getCountryResponse></SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
Now i'm trying to create a junit test for this service (the controller layer) but it doesn't work.
Here is my unit test :
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#WebMvcTest(CountryEndpoint.class)
#ContextConfiguration(classes = {CountryRepository.class, WebServiceConfig.class})
public class CountryEndpointTest {
private final String URI = "http://localhost:8080/ws/countries.wsdl";
#Autowired
private MockMvc mockMvc;
#Test
public void test() throws Exception {
mockMvc.perform(
get(URI)
.accept(MediaType.TEXT_XML)
.contentType(MediaType.TEXT_XML)
.content(request)
)
.andDo(print())
.andExpect(status().isOk());
}
static String request = "<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\"\n" +
" xmlns:gs=\"http://spring.io/guides/gs-producing-web-service\">\n" +
" <soapenv:Header/>\n" +
" <soapenv:Body>\n" +
" <gs:getCountryRequest>\n" +
" <gs:name>Spain</gs:name>\n" +
" </gs:getCountryRequest>\n" +
" </soapenv:Body>\n" +
"</soapenv:Envelope>";
}
here's the error :
MockHttpServletResponse:
Status = 404
Error message = null
Headers = {}
Content type = null
Body =
Forwarded URL = null
Redirected URL = null
Cookies = []
java.lang.AssertionError: Status
Expected :200
Actual :404
I changed the log level to debug and i found this :
2020-01-27 18:04:11.880 INFO 32723 --- [ main] c.s.t.e.s.endpoint.CountryEndpointTest : Started CountryEndpointTest in 1.295 seconds (JVM running for 1.686)

I tried another solution (below) but it doesn't work either.
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration(classes = {WebServiceConfig.class, CountryRepository.class})
public class CountryEndpointTest {
private final String URI = "http://localhost:8080/ws/countries.wsdl";
private MockMvc mockMvc;
#Autowired
CountryRepository countryRepository;
#Before
public void setup() {
this.mockMvc = standaloneSetup(new CountryEndpoint(countryRepository)).build();
}

Spring doc says :
https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.1.5.RELEASE/reference/html/boot-features-testing.html
By default, #SpringBootTest will not start a server.
You need to define
#SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)
to RUN the server.
I tried with mockserver, but I can't access to the endpoint (even with WebEnvironment.DEFINED_PORT)
So I did it as follow :
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#ActiveProfiles("test")
#SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)
#AutoConfigureWebTestClient
public class FacturationEndpointTest {
#Autowired
private WebTestClient webClient;
#Test
public void testWSDL() throws Exception {
this.webClient.get().uri("/test_service/services.wsdl")
.exchange().expectStatus().isOk();
}
You need to add the following dependency in your pom.xml if you want to use WebTestClient like me :
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-webflux</artifactId>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Please change the GET method to POST.
mockMvc.perform(
postURI) // <-- This line!!!
.accept(MediaType.TEXT_XML)
.contentType(MediaType.TEXT_XML)
.content(request)

Answer 3

if you are using a spring ws framework to implements your endpoints, please see spring-ws-test. you will find a MockWebServiceClient that mocks a client and tests your endpoint. I propose you to see this example : https://memorynotfound.com/spring-ws-server-side-integration-testing/
this works only for spring web service and not for CXF web services.
