RestAssuredMockMvc Connection to http://localhost:8080 refused

I developed a Spring MVC webapp with rest methods. I would love to use RestAssured to create JUnit test classes. From the documentation it looks really simple to do but I'm having some problem instead. Basically I want to use it to avoid a runtime Tomcat instance but the problem is that when I execute the JUnit test class I obtain the following exception: ``` org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException: Connection to http://localhost:8082 refused ... Caused by: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused ``` This is my JUnit class: ``` import static com.jayway.restassured.RestAssured.given; import org.junit.Before; import org.junit.Test; import org.junit.runner.RunWith; import org.slf4j.Logger; import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory; import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired; import org.springframework.test.context.ContextConfiguration; import org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringJUnit4ClassRunner; import org.springframework.test.context.web.WebAppConfiguration; import org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext; import com.jayway.restassured.module.mockmvc.RestAssuredMockMvc; @RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class) @ContextConfiguration(locations = {"file:src/test/resources/spring/application-test-config.xml"}) @WebAppConfiguration public class ExternalControllerTest { private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(ExternalControllerTest.class); @Autowired WebApplicationContext webApplicationContext; @Before public void setUp() throws Exception { RestAssuredMockMvc.webAppContextSetup(webApplicationContext); } @Test public void addClientDeviceId_Success() { given().get("/api/test").then().statusCode(200); } } ``` I also tried to configure RestAssuredMockMvc directly with the controller class but the result is the same: ``` RestAssuredMockMvc.standaloneSetup(new ExternalController()); ``` The controller looks like that: ``` @Controller @RequestMapping("/api") public class ExternalController { public ExternalController() { logger.info("ExternalController initialised!"); } @RequestMapping(value="/test", method = RequestMethod.GET, produces={"application/json", "application/xml"}) public @ResponseBody DmsResponse test(HttpServletResponse response) { response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_OK); return null; } } ``` In this guide http://www.jayway.com/2014/01/14/unit-testing-spring-mvc-controllers-with-rest-assured/ is specified that "The most important aspect is that it’s simpler to get the environment started. You don’t need to bootstrap a container (for example Jetty or Tomcat), you simply initialize RestAssuredMockMvc with a context (for example a controller) and you’re ready to go." So I don't understand where the problem is. Any suggestion? The war file deployed with Tomcat works fine. Thanks
