Webinar: Testing Web Applications with Spring 3.2
summary
Spring Framework 3.2 adds an integrated Spring MVC testing API that runs without a servlet container and exercises the DispatcherServlet lifecycle using MockMvc. Tests load a WebApplicationContext via @WebAppConfiguration, inject MockHttpServletRequest/Response/Session, and verify request/session-scoped beans, response status, headers and JSON with JsonPath. The framework supports ApplicationContextInitializers (initializers=), context hierarchies via @ContextHierarchy, mock RestTemplate client tests with MockRestServiceServer, standalone controller tests, Mockito-backed mocks, filter/Spring Security integration, and rich debug printing.
