Hi,
I'm implementing a REST API on top of a web application using the Spring framework. I managed to implement interoperability between Jersey and Spring using the following method:
@GET
@Produces( MediaType.APPLICATION_XML )
public List<Item> getItems( @Context HttpServletRequest req ) {
HttpSession ses = req.getSession( true );
WebApplicationContext ctxt = WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext( ses.getServletContext() );
ItemCatalogImpl itemCatalog = (ItemCatalogImpl)ctxt.getBean( "itemCatalog" );
...
}
My Jersey resource is able to access successfully a bean that has been instanciated by Spring. Yeah!
However now, I would like to implement unit tests for my REST API using InMemoryTestContainerFactory. My solution fails when using InMemoryTestContainerFactory. I think the InMemoryTestContainerFactory is not able to instanciate/simulate the HttpServletRequest and I cannot access the servlet context that is required to get the WebApplicationContext.
Is there another way for my Jersey resource to access a Spring bean in both situations (real servlet and InMemoryTestContainerFactory)? I suspect that there are many ways to do it but when I google about that, I'm a bit lost. I have seen references to @Component, @Inject, @Autowire, and SpringServlet. I have also seen that @Inject is deprecated in the 1.6's javadoc. Which way is the best? Any good links on this topic?
