Integration tests

[nikolaykuz]

Hello Anton,

Thanks for your talks. I really enjoy watching them.

How would you suggest to write integration tests for simple-java project?
I come with this piece of code. Jetty in memory server gets started and request towards a resource is performed. I wonder what you actually think about this approach.

public class JettyTest {
 private Server server;
 private WebTarget target;

 @Before
 public void setUp() throws Exception {
 server = new Server(8080);
 server.setStopAtShutdown(true);
 WebAppContext context = new WebAppContext("webapp", "/");
 server.setHandler(context);
 server.start();
 target = ClientBuilder.newClient().target(server.getURI());
 }

 @After
 public void tearDown() throws Exception {
 server.stop();
 }

 @Test
 public void test() throws Exception {
 String responseMsg = target.path("rest/photo-spots/ids/0").request().get(String.class);
 PhotoSpot photoSpot = target.path("rest/photo-spots/ids/0").request().get(PhotoSpot.class);
 assertEquals("Wrong name", "Kohtuotsa vaateplatvorm", photoSpot.getName());
 assertEquals("Photospots do not match", serialize(photoSpot), responseMsg);

 }

 private String serialize(Object object) throws Exception {
 JAXBContext context = JAXBContext.newInstance(object.getClass());
 Marshaller marshaller = context.createMarshaller();
 StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter();
 marshaller.setProperty(MarshallerProperties.MEDIA_TYPE, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);
 marshaller.marshal(object, stringWriter);
 return stringWriter.toString();
 }
